Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so hoping that's what it was going
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: This is all I have at this point, is this
Speaker 2: like schmock, cha smock. That's it what happened. I was
Speaker 2: born because I wear Cheetah, and I didn't think maybe
Speaker 2: I should hold back on wearing the cheetah on the
Speaker 2: podcast so much because then I don't have anything else
Speaker 2: to wear. And I have a box of all my
Speaker 2: stuff and I've gotta find it. I've got to go
Speaker 2: through my garage.
Speaker 1: And you do all is because I want not to
Speaker 1: get duck to jump ahead to this film, but I
Speaker 1: watched it with my wife and she kept asking about
Speaker 1: the clothes and she's like, please tell me, Sabrina still
Speaker 1: has that jean jacket. She's like, that's the best jean
Speaker 1: jacket I think I've ever seen in my life. So
Speaker 1: she's hoping, I actually.
Speaker 2: We will have to get into the clothes because that
Speaker 2: is such a big thing. I at this point, we
Speaker 2: were so we were doing Cheatah stuff so much that
Speaker 2: I had like my specific stuff that I knew I liked.
Speaker 2: It was my character Like at this point, like the characters,
Speaker 2: like you know, styles of all of us were so
Speaker 2: well developed that I brought a lot of my stuff
Speaker 2: and then I never got and they were like my
Speaker 2: favorite jeans, like and you'll see, I'll I'll point them out.
Speaker 2: They were my favorite gene.
Speaker 1: The ones with all the stuff going down the side.
Speaker 2: Uh not the first set, the second, like the different
Speaker 2: later on in the movie when we're already in Spain
Speaker 2: and I let them patch it up and I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't care, I will wear them like this like
Speaker 2: later on, like these are my favorite jeans. And he
Speaker 2: would not give them.
Speaker 1: Back to oh he wanted.
Speaker 2: To pay me for them. I'm like, they I can't
Speaker 2: find them again, Like I can't.
Speaker 1: Ah, you know.
Speaker 2: So, But that that there's a lot of backstage kind
Speaker 2: or behind the scenes like fashion stuff that happened within
Speaker 2: this movie because it was so important to everyone on
Speaker 2: board as far as where the development.
Speaker 1: It was huge. Even I noticed it. And when I noticed,
Speaker 1: like the costumes or just the wardrobe, you know, it's
Speaker 1: important because I never see stuff like that. But all right,
Speaker 1: well let's hop into it. Welcome back to Magical Rewind,
Speaker 1: the show that makes you want to grab your friends,
Speaker 1: your PJS, and your popcorn and go back to time

Speaker 1: to strut and do your own thing. We're watching two
Speaker 1: thousand and six is The Cheetah Girls Too, a follow
Speaker 1: up that not only became one of the channel's biggest
Speaker 1: movies ever, it stars our beloved co host and my friend.
Speaker 1: Are you excited?
Speaker 2: I am excited and nervous. I just went to the
Speaker 2: rest of you. But I feel like I gotta go again.
Speaker 2: I'm so nervous of how you're gonna react to this one,
Speaker 2: because again, oh no pressure. But this was one of
Speaker 2: This was an amazing night last night rewatching this because
Speaker 2: I just was going down a trip like I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: This was one of our favorite things that we had
Speaker 2: ever done. It was just amazing and it was it
Speaker 2: was just so fun.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know I can't watch it as your friend.
Speaker 1: I have to watch it as the guy watching movies
Speaker 1: for that's.
Speaker 2: All I want. I want it, I want it. I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I gotta be real as I'm watching these things. That's
Speaker 1: all I can do. Well. First of all, you've made
Speaker 1: it no secret that Cheetah Girls Too is your favorite
Speaker 1: of the series. Now, did you do you remember when
Speaker 1: you heard you were making a second one? Is it
Speaker 1: was this when you were making the first movie. Were
Speaker 1: they already talking about what you were going to do
Speaker 1: the second one? Or did this come later? How did
Speaker 1: all this work?
Speaker 2: The first movie was going to be just another one
Speaker 2: of the dcoms that we've seen one and done. That
Speaker 2: was it. Six weeks out in Toronto, two weeks here
Speaker 2: in La rehearsing, bing bang boom, got it done in
Speaker 2: that and that was it. We didn't have a premiere
Speaker 2: or anything like that. We I mean, we went to
Speaker 2: like a special event and it was like exciting to
Speaker 2: see Raven and Adrian and Keighley again when we got
Speaker 2: to when we were at the upfronts for before the
Speaker 2: movie came, and that was kind of it. So I
Speaker 2: kept in touch with them, saw them here and there.
Speaker 2: Then we were asked to do a disney Mania song.
Speaker 2: That led into us doing a Christmas album, and then
Speaker 2: that led us into doing a Christmas tour. And while
Speaker 2: we were on the Christmas tour is when we started
Speaker 2: hearing the rumblings of they want to do a Cheetah
Speaker 2: Girls too. Wow' yes. And I remember I was I
Speaker 2: was in college and I was working out a tanning
Speaker 2: saloon and on my phone Deborah Martin Chase, the producer
Speaker 2: of the movie, called was calling me and I looked
Speaker 2: at my manager and was like, I have to take this,
Speaker 2: Like this is the Cheetah Girls producer. I have to
Speaker 2: take this. And she's like okay. So I go outside
Speaker 2: and she's like, what do you think about going to Barcelona?
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, are you serious?
Speaker 1: Like I have a show on tomorrow.
Speaker 2: She goes, they want to shoot it? And I found
Speaker 2: out they want to. They want they're trying to expand
Speaker 2: into Spain, so we're using this opportunity to take Cheater
Speaker 2: Girls this Barcelona.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And I just probably, I mean, my knees went weak.
Speaker 2: I was an Orange County girl, just like doing here
Speaker 2: here and their things. I was not big that. I
Speaker 2: was not expecting this. I was excited to be a
Speaker 2: part of the channel, but this was like Holy crap,
Speaker 2: like this is becoming something.
Speaker 1: Bigger, big, Yeah, this is okay, So that's cool. So
Speaker 1: for everybody out there, you have to remember the first
Speaker 1: Cheatagirl's debut to six point five million viewers, which was
Speaker 1: a new gold standard for any decom moving forward. So
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer to everybody else anyway that
Speaker 1: it would get a sequel and become a franchise, because
Speaker 1: at this point it was like it aired, it became huge.
Speaker 1: They knew they had to do something, and boy did
Speaker 1: it become huge. With the tagline the Parties just begun,
Speaker 1: this second movie went above and beyond expectations by breaking
Speaker 1: Disney Channel's all time record for a movie with the
Speaker 1: whopping eight point one million viewers for its premiere, dethroning
Speaker 1: a little movie called High School Musical from the top spot,
Speaker 1: and becoming the most watched movie in the Cheetah Girls pantheon,
Speaker 1: which for the record, it still is today. Cheatah Girls
Speaker 1: Too was entirely shot on location in a Barcelona Yes, Toto,
Speaker 1: we are not in Utah anymore. Even the shots that
Speaker 1: were supposed to take place in New York were in
Speaker 1: fact shot in Barcelona, and it had a working title
Speaker 1: to prove. It referred to during filming as the Cheetah
Speaker 1: Girls when in Spain. Do you remember that Sabrina, that
Speaker 1: being the working title of the film.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I love that's Bretta.
Speaker 1: Barcelona. This is not Salt Lake. So, I mean, was
Speaker 1: it just every day waking up going I can't believe
Speaker 1: I'm sitting. Had you been there before?
Speaker 2: Never? No, I had not been at that point. I
Speaker 2: don't think i'd been anywhere in Europe. Okay, the farthest
Speaker 2: i'd gone was like Cabo, like I think Cabo and Toronto,
Speaker 2: like i'd been overseas at all.
Speaker 1: So your first time in Europe is why you're there
Speaker 1: starring in a major motion picture. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it was wild. I mean, just like stepping off
Speaker 2: of it. It's Barcelona is just such a magical city.
Speaker 2: There's just so many influences of Goudy and I mean
Speaker 2: like the architecture like everything. You're just walking around these
Speaker 2: just huge cathedral buildings and you're just going, holy cow,
Speaker 2: like this is so different than the OC. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'll say, were you all like that or were some
Speaker 1: of you like kind of jaded, like, oh, I've done
Speaker 1: this a thousand times. Were you all like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: this is the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 2: We all were, and then it abruptly got a little
Speaker 2: oh god, this isn't happening. We went to what they
Speaker 2: thought was a brand new hotel and it was and
Speaker 2: it was a really pretty hotel, but it was under construction, okay,
Speaker 2: And we were set next to an elementary playground. So
Speaker 2: we walk in the rooms that were there. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not long enough, but Keeley's pretty a lot longer
Speaker 2: than me, and she could touch her toe from one
Speaker 2: side of the room to the next. And we had
Speaker 2: all this luggage because we were planning on being there
Speaker 2: for like two and a half months. This was going
Speaker 2: to be a longer shoot. Yeah, yeah, And the closet
Speaker 2: space was like this, but it was like a place
Speaker 2: in New York, like it was like a hotel room.
Speaker 2: And the worst part was the playground. And we were
Speaker 2: there for like a couple hours and the kids were
Speaker 2: out there just in shifts, right, just that recess. We're
Speaker 2: going we have to do night shoots. How are we
Speaker 2: going to sleep during the day, like, you know? And
Speaker 2: so Deborah Martin Chase, she just man, she was our warrior.
Speaker 2: She was so awesome. She came over and was like,
Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, this won't do. Why don't you
Speaker 2: guys come to our hotel? And we went to a
Speaker 2: hotel Central and oh then I just started living.
Speaker 1: Is this like a super fat hotel that everybody knows about?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, even so much. I love
Speaker 2: this hotel so much that when Jordan and I went
Speaker 2: on our honeymoon, we started in Barcelona and ended in Barcelona,
Speaker 2: and first night he surprised me with staying at hotels
Speaker 2: because I had been talking about it for so long.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: The same, it was just amazing.
Speaker 1: It's awesome right back there. Oh that's great. Well, obviously
Speaker 1: this movie had a soundtrack, duh.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: It was released a week before the movie premiere and
Speaker 1: debuted at number five on the Billboard charts. It also
Speaker 1: sold over one point four million copies to date. The
Speaker 1: album features tracks by the Cheata Girls duh, but also
Speaker 1: solo songs from Raven and as always, Drew Sealey because
Speaker 1: he legally must have one song on every Disney musical
Speaker 1: soundtrack there is, so this absolutely tracks. I think it's
Speaker 1: part of its contract. Did you get like a golden
Speaker 1: platinum record? Do you actually have one of those records
Speaker 1: like I do, Oh, that's so cool. I do.
Speaker 2: My my parents have it, they have them up in
Speaker 2: their house.
Speaker 1: That is so so cool. Uh Okay, So you know
Speaker 1: there's all these things about the Cheata Girls out there.
Speaker 1: Are they coming back? Are they together? Why there were
Speaker 1: not all four of you together in the last movie
Speaker 1: at this point in the Cheetah Girls. Were you all
Speaker 1: getting along? Was everything cool? Where you just happy to
Speaker 1: be shooting? Had any of the stuff started? Or was
Speaker 1: everybody just happy to be a Cheata girl at this point?
Speaker 2: I think, well, at this point, to remember, we've already
Speaker 2: now done a album together. So and A Raven was
Speaker 2: a solo artist, so she and she was doing imagine
Speaker 2: her schedule too with That's so Raven. So she had
Speaker 2: a ton on her play and it was always offered
Speaker 2: to the four of us, and she, you know, would decide, no,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and do like Disney Mania, she
Speaker 2: did a solo a solo solo a song on that album.
Speaker 2: And then I think it was probably scheduling or for
Speaker 2: whatever reason, she didn't join us for the Christmas soundtrack
Speaker 2: or this Christmas album. And then when she decided that
Speaker 2: then obviously when we went on tour, she wasn't on
Speaker 2: tour with us for that album as well. So the
Speaker 2: three of us had now spent a long time together,
Speaker 2: the album making and all of that, so our bond
Speaker 2: was really tight, and I know we were all kind
Speaker 2: of a little nervous, Like Adrian had had gone on
Speaker 2: to That's so Raven and did some guest starring stuff, right,
Speaker 2: and we'd seen her here and there. But I think
Speaker 2: we were all a little nervous going it's been like
Speaker 2: we've had all this time together and we haven't had
Speaker 2: it with Raven, Like, how's that gonna be? Are we
Speaker 2: gonna have the same chemistry? But like the second we
Speaker 2: would get together and start rehearsing or for sure, by
Speaker 2: the time we were on camera, it was like the
Speaker 2: chemistry of the four of us being this great.
Speaker 1: Group, right, that's where you started.
Speaker 2: It just clicked. I mean it was all professional, It
Speaker 2: was all great and hello, we were in Barcelona, like
Speaker 2: who cares about anything? Yes, exactly, Like I mean, think
Speaker 2: about it, We're in our early twenties, Like it's like
Speaker 2: this is this is the Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 2: No one's gonna take me off of this cloud. Because
Speaker 2: we were just so excited and we were on our own.
Speaker 2: This movie, I will say, which is different from the
Speaker 2: third movie. We had a lot of freedom. If we weren't,
Speaker 2: you know, working that day or rehearsing, they'd allow us
Speaker 2: to kind of just have the day like any other
Speaker 2: place where we got to go out and do lunches
Speaker 2: and shop and and go on excursions and do things
Speaker 2: like that, like on our own and we had no limits.
Speaker 1: It was like, that's awesome for nothing like that kind
Speaker 1: of freedom totally. So when you're recording, then you're the
Speaker 1: four of you, Like, what's the recording process? Like, are
Speaker 1: the four of you recording for this movie together? Do
Speaker 1: you record everything surrounding microphones? Do you do your parts
Speaker 1: one at a time? Like how does it work? So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this movie again was we definitely had more
Speaker 2: of like fuller songs. If you listen to the first album,
Speaker 2: those are very short songs, right, these are full blown, yeah, long,
Speaker 2: you know, normal length songs with you know, two to
Speaker 2: three versus the chorus, the bridges like and so I
Speaker 2: think for this album we definitely had a lot more
Speaker 2: work to do than we did probably on the first album.
Speaker 2: The first album, the songs are so short and so
Speaker 2: that process though they do pull us in, but like
Speaker 2: we're like, so we're kind of passing by. Like so
Speaker 2: Keili and Adrian, because they lived together, they would always
Speaker 2: kind of probably be there together, and then at the
Speaker 2: end of their set is like when I would come
Speaker 2: in and start doing my parts for the song, and
Speaker 2: then as I was done, that's when they would know
Speaker 2: how much time we had. That's when Raven would come.
Speaker 2: So we definitely were We weren't because we weren't like
Speaker 2: really writing on this soundtrack. It was it wasn't really
Speaker 2: that important for us to be.
Speaker 1: There together right separately, gotcha.
Speaker 2: And you know it's a soundtrack, so the songs and
Speaker 2: everything are going within what's happening in the movie in
Speaker 2: the script. So yeah, it's a little bit different than
Speaker 2: like fast forward to what was next for us the
Speaker 2: three of us as we did our own album that
Speaker 2: we were working in day and day, night till all
Speaker 2: hours in the morning, starting at all hours, you know,
Speaker 2: constantly just there with the producers, writing and producing and
Speaker 2: doing everything.
Speaker 1: So man, that's cool. Well I'm not even gonna ask
Speaker 1: if we knew this movie existed before we started the podcast.
Speaker 1: Because we knew this movie existed, some of us more
Speaker 1: intimately than others. Of course, it would have been difficult
Speaker 1: to avoid Cheetah Girls mania at the time anyway, But
Speaker 1: as everyone out there knows, this is the first time
Speaker 1: I've ever seen it, and yes, so if you don't know,
Speaker 1: by the way, you can also watch The Cheetah Girls
Speaker 1: too this time. It's personal right now on Disney Plus
Speaker 1: or later also on Disney Plus. Basically, anytime you decide
Speaker 1: to watch it, it it'll be on Disney Plus. I
Speaker 1: even tried at four am to make sure it's still there.
Speaker 1: It might not have a family, is what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: It's just working all night long. I actually feel bad
Speaker 1: for the movie. Now, maybe do it as solid and
Speaker 1: watch it now, don't wait till four am. That seems
Speaker 1: mean in retrospective. All right, if your mom's dating a billionaire,
Speaker 1: go spend a summer with him and bring your friends.
Speaker 1: Because it's time for the synopsis, The Dynamic Girls group
Speaker 1: returns to embark on an exciting journey to Spain and
Speaker 1: an international music festival. The adventure will test their friendship
Speaker 1: and careers as they navigate and dance through a totally
Speaker 1: new country. No surprise here, but this was directed again
Speaker 1: by the legend Kenny Ortega, a Disney Hall of famer
Speaker 1: who were hoping to get on the show, who directed
Speaker 1: the first movie Before movies, Kenny was an iconic choreographer,
Speaker 1: working with names like Madonna, Olivia Newton, John and Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: He then transitioned behind the camera for hocus Pocus, a
Speaker 1: Disney Halloween classic, followed by Little dcom called High School
Speaker 1: musicale I think is how it's pronounced. He ran that
Speaker 1: entire franchise and now is the brains behind the massive
Speaker 1: Descendants movie at the Channel, and when all of a
Speaker 1: sudden done, he will be considered one of the goats.
Speaker 1: What was it like working with Kenny and Spain You've
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about it. Was it just incredible? Ugh,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Literally a dream. I mean, this guy was behind Newsy's
Speaker 2: so many of the I mean, Michael Jackson, hocus Pocus,
Speaker 2: there was so many things that I already knew that
Speaker 2: he was behind and had already known about him, the
Speaker 2: idea that he was going to be directing, and I
Speaker 2: knew he was obviously going to be behind all of
Speaker 2: our musical productions. I was just like for a dancer, right,
Speaker 2: this was the dream. And so the day that I
Speaker 2: met him, I mean tried to hold it together, keep
Speaker 2: it together. I'm here with Kenny Ortega. Luckily his assistant choreographer,
Speaker 2: Chuckie Claypout. We were on Spark Kids, the dance troupe
Speaker 2: that that dances at the Sparks Games, you know, years before.
Speaker 2: And I had known Chucky because he was a big
Speaker 2: dancer in the industry as well. I mean, luckily I
Speaker 2: knew that, so that I already had like an inn
Speaker 2: of like, oh, I know Chucky, like I've worked with him.
Speaker 2: He's great, He's awesome. And so I felt a little
Speaker 2: bit more comfortable, like I would not get get in
Speaker 2: the place where I just like didn't have any words
Speaker 2: to say right exact, my tongue won't let me go
Speaker 2: like anywhere. So it was great that I had, I
Speaker 2: had something a little bit more comfortable already. Man, even
Speaker 2: from the first table read the way he would, you know,
Speaker 2: read through it, he would he would already you could
Speaker 2: see in his eyes when he would talk about it.
Speaker 2: He had visualized it even before getting to Spain, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It was awesome, and I know
Speaker 2: they did trips to Spain before we ever got there
Speaker 2: as well. But he just you could see his vision.
Speaker 2: His brain was working. He had just gotten done with
Speaker 2: high school musical one, so he was like he was
Speaker 2: he was his steam.
Speaker 1: It was like full yeah, he was in it.
Speaker 2: He was in it, and it was like so magical
Speaker 2: to watch this just incredible creator, just like do his magic.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's awesome. Well. The movie stars a child acting legend,
Speaker 1: one of the premieer faces for the channel, Raven Simone,
Speaker 1: reprising her role as Galleria. She began her career as
Speaker 1: the adorable Olivia on The Cosby Show, then joined Hanging
Speaker 1: with Mister Cooper and started movies like Doctor Doolittle and
Speaker 1: a dcom We Loved xenon Girl of the twenty first Century.
Speaker 1: She'd also become the face of That So Raven, a
Speaker 1: tent pole for Disney in the two thousands. She'd later
Speaker 1: return to the character for a reboot Raven's Home and
Speaker 1: is more than just an actress now. She's hosting the
Speaker 1: view for a while, and she is currently the face
Speaker 1: of the scrabble game show. Cheetah Girls two marks her
Speaker 1: last appearance in a Cheahirls movie. And I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to see how the next movie deals with that. So
Speaker 1: I don't know how that'll happen, but we'll see Adrian
Speaker 1: by Loan is Chanelle, an original member of the girl
Speaker 1: group three l W. We saw Adrian just a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago as the radio DJ inserted into Buffalo Dreams,
Speaker 1: but she has her own solo pop career and TV
Speaker 1: appearances on that So Raven the movie Coach Carter and
Speaker 1: the Sweet Life of Zach and Cody and Our Sweet
Speaker 1: Little Little Pee, Our Sweet Pea, Sabrina Bryan returns as
Speaker 1: Derinda Sabrina. During the research, we saw that you were
Speaker 1: also uncredited in the incredible movie Matilda. Where should we
Speaker 1: be looking for you? In that movie? Pointed out, where
Speaker 1: where are you? You know what?
Speaker 2: I just saw something on Instagram on it and it's
Speaker 2: during oh what's his name? When he eats that big
Speaker 2: chocolate cake.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've never seen any of any of them. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: he I know the story though, because Ryder's strong son
Speaker 1: plays that part.
Speaker 2: You can do it and he oh he plays.
Speaker 1: Up in not in the movie, in the play.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, he's there's a giant, massive chocolate cake and
Speaker 2: we're all in the auditorium because she miss Miss Trunch
Speaker 2: or Miss trunch Bowl knows he ate it, and so
Speaker 2: he then eats the whole cake and then she smashed
Speaker 2: the plate on him. That's the main one where you
Speaker 2: can really see my face. And then anytime when we're
Speaker 2: in I was an extra. Anytime we're in the playground area,
Speaker 2: like we were basically wore the same thing over and
Speaker 2: over again, so you can see, Like I had my
Speaker 2: vans on, so I could see those and you could
Speaker 2: see the back of my head or the front of me.
Speaker 2: It was like it's like, you know, like that typical
Speaker 2: background there I am. Of course, right, was so fun.
Speaker 2: I did that when I was like in sixth grade,
Speaker 2: and it was like summer camp.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have to recap it. Maybe we'll have to
Speaker 1: recap it.
Speaker 2: Just it's a good movie, a good movie.
Speaker 1: And then of course Pale the Show. Killy Williams is
Speaker 1: AquaNet Kille is also part of Three l W and
Speaker 1: appears in the House Bunny, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Speaker 1: and Stomp the Yard too. Also this time it's personal
Speaker 1: and we meet Marisol played by Belinda the Mexican singer
Speaker 1: and actress was a child star in her home country,
Speaker 1: starring in the telenovela Amigos e Sempre I Think it
Speaker 1: Is what it Is or Amigos ex Sempre. She has
Speaker 1: been nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards and has sold
Speaker 1: over three million albums, singles and soundtracks, making her the
Speaker 1: third best selling Mexican female act of all time geez.
Speaker 1: She also appeared in the twenty seventeen version of Baywatch,
Speaker 1: which was the movie version Okay with the Rock and
Speaker 1: zac Efron, and she is now one of the judges
Speaker 1: of the Mexican version of The Voice. What was Belinda like?
Speaker 1: I've obviously I had never heard of this person. I
Speaker 1: don't know who they are.
Speaker 2: But cutie pie.
Speaker 1: Was she cool to work with? Oh?
Speaker 2: She was so sweet. She there was a little bit
Speaker 2: of you know, uh, language barriers you're in there, but
Speaker 2: she really loved being around us because she was really
Speaker 2: wanting to work on it. You know, at some point
Speaker 2: there might have been like she wanted to do a
Speaker 2: little bit more crossover.
Speaker 1: Did she know the Cheetah Girls?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think I ever I don't
Speaker 2: think I ever asked her that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm curious if she if she knew the Cheetah Girls.
Speaker 2: First so sweet and then weirdly enough, probably a year
Speaker 2: after this movie, I was visiting someone in Texas and
Speaker 2: she did an appearance at like a club I just
Speaker 2: happened to be at. And when I tell you, this
Speaker 2: crowd went bananas over her and I've somehow found my
Speaker 2: way backstage. I was with Selena's brother who was like
Speaker 2: hosting the table that I was sitting at, and I
Speaker 2: was like, I know her, and he's like, do you
Speaker 2: want to go see her? And I was like yes,
Speaker 2: So we went back and we got to like reunite
Speaker 2: like a year later.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 2: It was so awesome to watch her like in her
Speaker 2: element because I felt she did really good when she
Speaker 2: had her stage moments. Yes, And I was like, this
Speaker 2: girl's a freaking rock styf.
Speaker 1: Yeah awesome, Yeah that was it was. Yeah, I'd never
Speaker 1: heard of her, but that's got third highest selling of
Speaker 1: all time.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, I know.
Speaker 1: And Cheetah Girls two is Oh, it's ninety seven minutes long.
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you this because I know this
Speaker 1: one's important to you, but it's seven minutes past the
Speaker 1: target and you know what that means, Sabrina. This movie
Speaker 1: is too too.
Speaker 2: Long long, and I can tell you where I want
Speaker 2: to cut it.
Speaker 1: I can tell you where I want to cut it too.
Speaker 1: There's one song I did not like that was on me.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 1: Just one for me. We'll get into. We'll get into.
Speaker 1: But that hurt me as much as it hurts you.
Speaker 1: Trust me to say that it's too long, but it is.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 1: Producers Deborah Martin Chase and Whitney Houston have returned to
Speaker 1: work on the follow up, and Raven is also once
Speaker 1: again an executive producer on the film. Three writers split
Speaker 1: the credit on this one. Bethesda Brown gets her one
Speaker 1: and only screen credit here. She also has a story
Speaker 1: by credit on the twenty fourteen TV show The Divide,
Speaker 1: but that's it. She's paired with Alison Taylor, a season
Speaker 1: television writer with credits on Claristic explains at All married
Speaker 1: with children, Lizzie Maguire, Just Jordan, and the first Cheatah
Speaker 1: Girls movie. And finally we've got Deborah Gregory. She is
Speaker 1: the author behind the Cheah Girls books and she will
Speaker 1: always get a writing credit because they're her characters. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't forget to practice because we're winning this contest. Let's
Speaker 1: get in to Cheetah Girls too. The movie opens in
Speaker 1: New York. It's really Barcelona with chance of Cheetah Cheetah
Speaker 1: faintly heard in the distance. It's at Manhattan Magnet High's
Speaker 1: grad night party, and the students are waiting to catch
Speaker 1: a glimpse of their favorite pop group. This is also
Speaker 1: comprised of their classmates. The Cheetah Girls are announced in
Speaker 1: out pops Galleria Chanelle, Derinda and Ida. I'm kidding, there's
Speaker 1: no idea seeing if you're still on board with me,
Speaker 1: it's Aquineta, of course, the Aquanetta, Aquanetta, Sorry, Aquanetta, it's Aqua.
Speaker 1: Which is I know are well enough to call her
Speaker 1: Aqua at this point? Yeah. The crowd is hyped while
Speaker 1: the girls, dressed in the jungle tiger print theme perform
Speaker 1: the R and B Diddy the Party's just begun. Great song.
Speaker 1: I think even if you don't have a real ear
Speaker 1: for music, you can tell the production has been elevated
Speaker 1: for the sequel. You already talked about how the songs
Speaker 1: were longer, but did you just get a whole sense
Speaker 1: on this entire movie? Forget that you're just in Barcelona,
Speaker 1: but just with everything that, they're like, all right, they're
Speaker 1: throwing everything at us now, oh yeah, you could just tell.
Speaker 2: And honestly, it wasn't like they didn't want to do
Speaker 2: it the first round. It's like they didn't realize how
Speaker 2: big this could be.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: We're like put in their best foot forward type of things.
Speaker 2: So I think it's like everything just clicked. Yes, they
Speaker 2: all every and again. This is after a lot of
Speaker 2: the same writers and producers work on high school musical
Speaker 2: and they're going, oh my god, this is a banger,
Speaker 2: this is a bag, this is bringing in money, this
Speaker 2: is bringing in money.
Speaker 1: Yep, let me do the best.
Speaker 2: So it was awesome.
Speaker 1: Eight point one million people. It was lightning in a
Speaker 1: cheeta printed bottle is actually absolutely what it was. Eventually,
Speaker 1: near the end of the song, Galleria brings up a
Speaker 1: dozen or so audience members to dance a long closing
Speaker 1: out the track to big applause. Who were the kids
Speaker 1: in the audience? Would you just dancers from from Barcelona?
Speaker 2: They yes, yeah, we had you could tell as you see,
Speaker 2: you'll see. I mean it's like the same little group
Speaker 2: of I saw that yeah, of extras over and over it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were great.
Speaker 2: They were good, They were good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We're now backstage. The girls are happy with their performance,
Speaker 1: announcing junior year is finally over. Very smart to say,
Speaker 1: they weren't senior, so you can get one more year
Speaker 1: in if they wanted to. Chanelle casually drops that she
Speaker 1: got a sixteen hundred on her SATs No Biggie. Now
Speaker 1: that it's summer, Drenda looks forward to a break, but
Speaker 1: no rest for the Cheetahs. Galeria has plans back out.
Speaker 1: In the grad party, Galeria and Chanell meet up with
Speaker 1: their moms because apparently both their chaperones control freak. Galleria
Speaker 1: reminds Chanel about their summer rehearsal schedule. But truth is,
Speaker 1: Galeria is going with her family to Martha's vineyard and
Speaker 1: Chanell's family is going to Barcelona, which is a surprise
Speaker 1: that was just ruined for Chanelle. Whoops. Chanelle storms off
Speaker 1: with Galleria close behind. We are now at Chanelle's house.
Speaker 1: Galleria can't believe she's spending her summer in Barcelona with
Speaker 1: her mom's long term foreign boyfriend. She even Betsy's gonna
Speaker 1: ask her to marry him, and she's scared that if
Speaker 1: her mom does get married, they'll have to move to
Speaker 1: Barcelona and she'll be taken away from her Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 1: her friends since they were divas in diapers.
Speaker 2: Galleria promises, oh, we got our first, we got cheatah, No,
Speaker 2: our first cheatah cheatah chatta. Oh yeah, and diapers.
Speaker 1: I am basically fluent now. I didn't even I knew
Speaker 1: it was up the entire time. It was like, I
Speaker 1: don't even need translation. I know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: Galleria promises her if that's the case, they'll figure it
Speaker 1: out because no one can tear them apart. In the
Speaker 1: next room, their mothers, Dorothea and Juanita are talking about
Speaker 1: wedding dresses and Chanelle's mom is very stressed about getting
Speaker 1: that ring. Eventually, Chanelle's pushed into a room by Galeria,
Speaker 1: who appears to have a plan. Shenell tells her mom
Speaker 1: she's ready to go to Spain and spend some time
Speaker 1: with Luke. She knows it's important to her, so she's
Speaker 1: willing to make it work. But she has an idea,
Speaker 1: what if the Cheetah Girls come with them. It doesn't
Speaker 1: get much thought because they leave in three days and
Speaker 1: Luke can't host more people, so that is a big strikeout.
Speaker 1: The two girls move over to Galeria's house, now joined
Speaker 1: by the other two Cheetahs. They're eating Chinese food in
Speaker 1: their pajamas, depressed they won't be going to Barcelona, something
Speaker 1: they just found out was even a possibility. Sabrina. Okay,
Speaker 1: so when you watch this, do the lines come right
Speaker 1: back to you? I mean do you remember, like, could
Speaker 1: you start doing your dialogue writer as you're watching the scenes?
Speaker 2: Yes, some of them, or just like what we were
Speaker 2: doing on on like camera, like like what was happening
Speaker 2: around us type of things happen?
Speaker 1: Well, stop me if there's stuff that I'm missing that
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, so while we're eating Chinese food, it's
Speaker 1: really this or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yes, there was a big At one point, someone gave
Speaker 2: me the hottest Chinese food, like they heated it up,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh.
Speaker 1: I not spicy, you mean like burn your mouth hot?
Speaker 2: Like yes, And I was like, I am so sorry
Speaker 2: because I couldn't even hold it. And I was at
Speaker 2: first because I don't like to complain, So at first
Speaker 2: I'm like and then like Kenny's like, what's wrong, and
Speaker 2: I'm like my cock poal chicken is so hot. So
Speaker 2: someone got it down and he's like, why did you
Speaker 2: say something. I'm like, I'm the person out of nail
Speaker 2: salon that won't tell the nail artists that she did
Speaker 2: the wrong color. Like, I'll just walk out and live
Speaker 2: with it for the two weeks that I have to.
Speaker 2: I can't do that.
Speaker 1: That's like me. I'm unfortunately the same way. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get better though.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to too, but he's just like, you know.
Speaker 2: And then this was the first. Also I put in
Speaker 2: my bris. I'll just do my sabrinacs as we go.
Speaker 1: Yes, perfect, And if there's anything we.
Speaker 2: Don't do, I love it, try to hit it. But
Speaker 2: that blanket that Keeley had that was like her comfort blanket.
Speaker 2: It was her baby sister's blanket that she brought to
Speaker 2: Barcelona because they had to be apart for so long,
Speaker 2: and so she told her baby sister, I will she
Speaker 2: told Tia, I'll bring it to Barcelona. So and then
Speaker 2: she she was like, can I bring it into the
Speaker 2: camera shot? And Kenny's like, for sure, that sounds great.
Speaker 2: So that's the all around set.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that old blanket. Okay, So now that
Speaker 1: they're really moping. They see a shooting star at the window, which,
Speaker 1: for the record, is the longest shooting star in history
Speaker 1: because normally, by the time you see a shooting star,
Speaker 1: it's gone, but this one is. It takes our right
Speaker 1: under the window and watch it. This time, they make
Speaker 1: a wish and each of them is at the same time,
Speaker 1: they say Barcelona. With that, a nearby magazine flings open
Speaker 1: from a gust of wind, stopping on an ad for
Speaker 1: Barcelona Music Festival and its new Voice competition for undiscovered talent.
Speaker 1: That's it, that's the way to get to Barcelona. The
Speaker 1: Shooting Star worked quick wish for a million dollars twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars, one hundred million dollars or fifty more wishes,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately the deadline to apply was last week. Galleria
Speaker 1: thinks she can convince them to include the Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 1: so she plans on calling later because she puts together
Speaker 1: that it's four am their QuickTime zone transition. Galeria, it's
Speaker 1: very impressive. I know, I was like, wow, even where
Speaker 1: you are in Orange County, I'm not sure we're in
Speaker 1: the same time zone right now, so it's very impressive.
Speaker 1: Later that night, while the girls are sleeping, their alarm
Speaker 1: goes off, time for Galleria to call and to be
Speaker 1: a real Karen about the cut off date, so she
Speaker 1: wakes up the other three girls, mostly because she needs
Speaker 1: she now to speaks Spanish. But immediately they're shut down
Speaker 1: by the organizer and told to apply next year. Galeria, though,
Speaker 1: doesn't take no for an answer and forces the Cheetahs
Speaker 1: to start singing over the phone and magically they now
Speaker 1: just have to download the application and meet with the
Speaker 1: festival director next week to be included. They are all
Speaker 1: so excited about the prospect and promise each other they're
Speaker 1: going to do whatever they can to win and nothing
Speaker 1: will break them apart. You remember this, people, Nothing's going
Speaker 1: to break them apart? Or is it? This is a
Speaker 1: good plan now though, because now they have to tell
Speaker 1: Galeria and Chanell's mom. Okay, Galeria argues, this is just
Speaker 1: the work of the universe and you don't want to
Speaker 1: mess with the universe. All they have to do is
Speaker 1: just get there. And Galeria already talk to her dad,
Speaker 1: currently traveling in Hong Kong, and he's willing to give
Speaker 1: up his airline miles because Dozna need them as well.
Speaker 1: Dorinda says her foster mom is cool with it, and
Speaker 1: Aqua says her dad has also approved the trip, but
Speaker 1: Chanell's mom isn't sold. It's too much work traveling with
Speaker 1: four girls on her own. So what if Dorothea Gallery's
Speaker 1: mom comes to and just like that, the trip is set.
Speaker 1: Everyone's ecstatic, but Galleria's mom warns her daughter she'll be
Speaker 1: sent right back home if anything goes wrong, because this
Speaker 1: is a crucial trip for Janita. But for now, it's
Speaker 1: time to pack. The Cheetah girls with Wanita and Dorothea.
Speaker 1: As they're ad guys arrive at the airport, Derinda is
Speaker 1: already filming everything with their amazing two thousand's handycam. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: was it on? Was it ever on? Or you're just
Speaker 1: looking at a blank screen?
Speaker 2: I think I did film a little bit of it. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're in there, but.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine finding those tapes? I know, how cool
Speaker 1: would that be? Galeria warns them though they're no longer
Speaker 1: just American divas in training, they're international superstars in training.
Speaker 1: And before you know it, bam, they're in Spain, which
Speaker 1: they've been there the whole time. Just for the record,
Speaker 1: the girls are already sightseeing, planning on checking everything out
Speaker 1: one day, but first they have to shop. We get
Speaker 1: a graphic of postcards over a map of Barcelona. One
Speaker 1: says cheat delicious, the next says growlicious, which doesn't really
Speaker 1: seem that different, and then growl and snap and finally
Speaker 1: just Barcelona. Apparently this means they saw everything before lunch,
Speaker 1: because they're now in a restaurant for lunch, ready to
Speaker 1: call it a day. Then the girls this, and this
Speaker 1: is where I was like, Yes, this is the best
Speaker 1: movie I've ever seen in my life. The girls here,
Speaker 1: some beautiful guitar playing, and it's a young man with
Speaker 1: long hair walking down the steps, just strumming away.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, this is the.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not going god here. We're about to
Speaker 2: lose will I Lily turned to Jordan. I said, we're
Speaker 2: about to lose will.
Speaker 1: It was because it's it's so cheesy. Yes that it's awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean he just he constantly like.
Speaker 2: Even and it's his whisper.
Speaker 1: It's made the whisper the entire time, but to the
Speaker 1: point where when Raven later goes, I love him, He's everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's like they they play with the joke that he
Speaker 1: just will occasionally just here like no, no, no, and
Speaker 1: he's up in the rafter. Oh here, hell angel, and
Speaker 1: he's always at the top. I am unheldcome to like, yes,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, that's the part I wanted to play. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're would have been crazy. I oh god, it would
Speaker 1: have been the best. So the Cheeah girls are instantly
Speaker 1: all goofy for the guy, as he says in Spanish,
Speaker 1: welcome to the whisper of dreams. Hell yes, which is
Speaker 1: also a great way to tell somebody you're gonna kill
Speaker 1: them by the way. Anyway, on Kel, which we don't
Speaker 1: know this name yet though, breaks into a song which
Speaker 1: is a love song discovering Barcelona and don't want the
Speaker 1: day to end. And when that's okay, this is when
Speaker 1: they break into song and this is where I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Now they're accompanied by their new honky
Speaker 1: guitar player. The song is Strut, which is a great
Speaker 1: song which starts as a ballad then speeds up into
Speaker 1: a rock track. The girls and the new dude, who
Speaker 1: again we now know it's on Hill, but they don't
Speaker 1: even know his name, now perform in the streets. Now
Speaker 1: just I know you said you weren't on the handicamel lot,
Speaker 1: but what is. Here's the thing about this movie. This
Speaker 1: was like a hybrid of Sometimes the songs were sung
Speaker 1: because you're in a concert and that's the way you're
Speaker 1: supposed to sing now, and then some times you did
Speaker 1: the high school musical thing where you just broke right
Speaker 1: and frankly, it was almost like transitioning, like like slowly
Speaker 1: getting me into a musical, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it was a good, a good gateway musical for me.
Speaker 2: Yes, because the majority of it we are on stage
Speaker 2: or we are rehearsing, like, yes, more of that, but
Speaker 2: there's a couple of the like almost like interlude songs
Speaker 2: that kind of just bring us a little throughout the storyline,
Speaker 2: or like brighten up a spot like Strutt was all
Speaker 2: about showing off the absolutely gorgeous city of Barcelona.
Speaker 1: And that's why it worked perfectly because it was like
Speaker 1: a rock it was you're dancing to show this beautiful city.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, Okay, you're not in
Speaker 1: your high school. You're not walking down the aisle like yeah,
Speaker 1: in your hallway, you're going through Barcelona.
Speaker 2: I mean, we do get there. We do do you do?
Speaker 1: You do? But it works out.
Speaker 2: And this one is and especially because you do get
Speaker 2: to see so many of the big sights in this song,
Speaker 2: like Parkway. When we do the we kind of going
Speaker 2: through in and out where it's like everybody knows that
Speaker 2: something good is going on and it's that thing where
Speaker 2: we like like just lounge into it. That is something
Speaker 2: that gets done, like talk about like those memes and
Speaker 2: those talks and yes, and when people are there in
Speaker 2: park Way, they love filming because it's easy to find,
Speaker 2: it's not hard, it's it's right there, all all of
Speaker 2: that stuff, and they do their they'll redo it. And
Speaker 2: I did it actually on my honeymoon. I did do
Speaker 2: the same thing, react it and I never posted it
Speaker 2: because that's what I do. I film things and never should.
Speaker 1: Do you still have it? I do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got to post it. It's so cool because
Speaker 2: what I love about it is when people go and
Speaker 2: visit this place, there's a huge part of like them
Speaker 2: remembering and first of all, even wanting to go to
Speaker 2: this place because of the movie. And then when they're there,
Speaker 2: we offer a musical that they could go ahead and
Speaker 2: just re do.
Speaker 1: But it's also I mean, think of the fans of
Speaker 1: this movie. You know, you're a twelve thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 1: Most of the time, most kids that age aren't traveling
Speaker 1: the world yet. So by the time you're then in
Speaker 1: your twenties or whatever, in your thirties, and now you're
Speaker 1: going and oh my god, this is from the Cheeah Girls.
Speaker 1: Is the first time I saw it. Of course you're
Speaker 1: going to reenact it. That's the best.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so cool again. I mean, I there's things
Speaker 2: about Strut. I love it. If you notice in the
Speaker 2: airport leading into going to Barcelona, I had these giant,
Speaker 2: chunky platform shoes on. I did not have huge wedges.
Speaker 2: And then by the time they're like so when we started,
Speaker 2: like that was like the intro to get to Spain
Speaker 2: and then they're like, oh yeah, they did like a
Speaker 2: rewrite of some sort to where we were going straight
Speaker 2: into Strut that I was like, can I get some
Speaker 2: tennis shoes because we're going to be filming this for
Speaker 2: like thirteen days, like in and out, and I'm not
Speaker 2: wearing these platforms skin being and dancing and jumping on
Speaker 2: the bencher, yeah, jumping off the benches, Like can I
Speaker 2: get tet of shoes and they're like yeah, And then
Speaker 2: they asked Raven. They're like, do you want to switch?
Speaker 2: And Raymons like no, I want to do my heels,
Speaker 2: and she did. She wore those freaking boots the whole time,
Speaker 2: and I was like, props, props, props. I mean she
Speaker 2: she did at some point start going my feet are dying.
Speaker 2: Of course, my god, who cares. She thugged it through.
Speaker 2: That was so hard. I couldn't imagine having to wear
Speaker 2: those crazy boots for so many days. And she killed it.
Speaker 2: She killed it, didn't it didn't stop her performance.
Speaker 1: That's all a bit well. The song Struck brags about
Speaker 1: the ability to walk through Barcelona while freeing your mind
Speaker 1: and bothering street performers. There's a very cool routine here
Speaker 1: where you all dance in front of what looks like
Speaker 1: a temple and we just see this beautiful city all
Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, it's incredible. The Cheeah girls are still
Speaker 1: flanked by this total guitar playing stranger. Then he reveals
Speaker 1: his name, un Hill, I am on hell Angel, which
Speaker 1: is why he always shows up the hearing it in air.
Speaker 1: I love it, which, by the way, for our producers
Speaker 1: listening every time. I say the name angel or on hill.
Speaker 1: I'd like it to be followed by a Spanish guitar rift.
Speaker 1: Please thank you. Later, the Cheetah girls, now being driven
Speaker 1: in a rolls Royce, arrived to Luke's estate, Ville Soule,
Speaker 1: which is the size of a small city and filled
Speaker 1: with employees. My god, what a stunning place. They get
Speaker 1: a tour of the nineteenth century house and are informed
Speaker 1: of their bedrooms. I mean, talk about hitting the jackpot
Speaker 1: or I guess one, Needa did. It's and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this and I'm gonna meet it. I mean this
Speaker 1: all the way around. It's cheet delicious. It really is
Speaker 1: no wonder When he's is stressing about the ring, I'd
Speaker 1: marry this guy too. And then Luke arrives. The girls
Speaker 1: thank the swab Man for housing them. He seems great,
Speaker 1: even though Shanelle is still cold to him and incorrectly
Speaker 1: finds him controlling, which is not at all. The girls
Speaker 1: unpack and get some rests. Tomorrow they're gonna meet with
Speaker 1: the festival director. The next morning. Everyone's eating breakfast on
Speaker 1: the enormous grounds, waited on by numerous maids. Luke says
Speaker 1: he's asked one of his friends, the Count of Tobar,
Speaker 1: to assist them. I'm bo and I went, oh, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a cute boy showing up. I can tell.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna meet him later on, and with that,
Speaker 1: the girls are off to the festival headquarters. The girls
Speaker 1: arrived to a stunning theater. It looks like the Phantom
Speaker 1: of the Opera would haunt it. I mean, just incredible.
Speaker 1: They're startled by a very Spanish man who asks them
Speaker 1: what they've prepared for their audition. Galleria lets them know
Speaker 1: that they actually brought a CD, but demands they perform
Speaker 1: live now. I love that. They're like, oh, now, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, but okay, well I guess that means now
Speaker 1: let's go. The girls scurry to the cavern of stage
Speaker 1: and they sing about Sisters a cappella, and once they finish,
Speaker 1: the director quickly sends them out. That'll be all for today,
Speaker 1: though it felt weird, and assistant quickly walks in and
Speaker 1: lets them know they've made it. They'll be performing in
Speaker 1: the New Voices competition. Congratulations, we're not back At Luke's Castle.
Speaker 1: The Cheetahs are relaxing, but Galleria is trying to get
Speaker 1: the girls to take a look at the practice schedule. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's no rest. Now it's the time when the cute
Speaker 1: boys arriving. Luke's friends slash summer intern Joaquin arrives. He's
Speaker 1: not even it's not even a moped. It's a really
Speaker 1: really cool scooter, like those Italian scooters of Vespa. He's
Speaker 1: talking about the Dancing Cat, a teen club that possibly
Speaker 1: New Voices competition performers will be performing at. It's like
Speaker 1: the club they all go to. But tomorrow night is
Speaker 1: open mic night, and he wants to sign them up.
Speaker 1: But Joaquin seems most interested in Derinda Oh, immediately kissing
Speaker 1: her hands. Sabrina, what's the deal? Good chemistry with this actor? What?
Speaker 1: How did how did it feel to be with this guy?
Speaker 1: They really paired you up, walk us through. It turned
Speaker 1: ten shades of red as you tell me about.
Speaker 2: This guy, because I just know you're gonna I.
Speaker 1: Have a question from my wife that I'm gonna ask later,
Speaker 1: but go ahead.
Speaker 2: D Yeah. So we got to meet, you know, already,
Speaker 2: because we had rehearsed together, because we had our you know,
Speaker 2: our dances that we were going to be doing together.
Speaker 2: He's in a couple of them, so we'd already met
Speaker 2: he actually, I mean right away him and I did
Speaker 2: click because we instantly started getting into dance, like convos,
Speaker 2: because he is an actual dancer.
Speaker 1: He was in sure you could tell.
Speaker 2: A contemporary dance program. And that's when he told me
Speaker 2: that they were actually going to be having a performance
Speaker 2: during the time we were gonna be their shooting. So
Speaker 2: are like most of us all went to go to
Speaker 2: his performance and and see him do his thing, which
Speaker 2: was very contemporary and not what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: At all, like modern dance.
Speaker 2: Kind of yes, like they it was really artistic and
Speaker 2: super cool, but like the guys were in like these
Speaker 2: team tiny like little nude shorts, and that was it and.
Speaker 1: We were like wow.
Speaker 2: What And then the girls were in like these like
Speaker 2: just barely could see they're like nude, like they were
Speaker 2: supposed to be completely nude, but they weren't nude nude,
Speaker 2: so we just like hit it off right away. We
Speaker 2: instantly both got into talking about dance. He had places
Speaker 2: that like he recommended. He didn't live in Barcelona, he
Speaker 2: wasn't from there. He was from somewhere else, so he
Speaker 2: was like, oh, when I first got here, here's some
Speaker 2: places you guys should check out cool. He spoke like
Speaker 2: three different languages, and he would it was so fun
Speaker 2: going out with him because so many people, like Barcelona's
Speaker 2: kind of like a It's like New York. It's like
Speaker 2: a melting pot of like all different people, a lot
Speaker 2: of different cultures and stuff. So he would go from
Speaker 2: like speaking French to German.
Speaker 1: To yeah, most Europeans can do that, it's crazy, and.
Speaker 2: To Spanish and like just anyone that was around and
Speaker 2: me could talk and I was like, I don't understand
Speaker 2: any of them.
Speaker 1: Yep, so were Americans. We can only have one language
Speaker 1: and ahead at.
Speaker 2: The time where we get so crazy. It's so crazy
Speaker 2: to know. He said he started speaking other languages when
Speaker 2: he was like three or four. Yeah, Like I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't even think he spoke real English when I
Speaker 2: was three year exactly.
Speaker 1: Luke arrives and confirms this young stud is a count
Speaker 1: and is his dancing godson. As a result, Joaquin gives
Speaker 1: Dough his studio addressed. The possible couple are going to
Speaker 1: hang out and do a little dancing later at Galeria
Speaker 1: Aqua and Galeria's mom or doing a little shopping when
Speaker 1: they spot some incredible dresses. While admiring the designer, they're
Speaker 1: interrupted by a man who knows Dorothea. His name is
Speaker 1: Randolph Hunter and they apparently go way back. He owns
Speaker 1: the boutique with the famous designer Aramet. Question from a
Speaker 1: guy who knows nothing, is this completely and totally made up?
Speaker 1: Or is Aramet a real designer in person? Like this
Speaker 1: was somebody I was supposed to know?
Speaker 2: No, I think it's it's fake.
Speaker 1: Okay, Guys again, I was like, oh, is this am
Speaker 1: I supposed to know who this is? Because I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about design I didn't.
Speaker 2: Know if this was supposed to be somebody Dorothia. Dorothea's
Speaker 2: like whole backstory, is that right? She was the designer group,
Speaker 2: but then she was she was a designer and all that.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if they brought in somebody famous
Speaker 1: and I just didn't know who it was. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the Aramet is made up? Gotcha?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And he invites them in to see her. After a
Speaker 1: big reunion with Dorothea, Aqua wants to spend time with
Speaker 1: one of her favorite clothing designers, but Galeria is still
Speaker 1: very frustrated about the rehearsals because they just aren't happening.
Speaker 1: And this is when I started going, thank you, Galeria,
Speaker 1: you're there for a reason. Is nobody else rehearsing? And
Speaker 1: I was starting to laggravated.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I would have been to exactly, that's you. You
Speaker 1: would have been like, let's rehearse.
Speaker 2: Please for vacation, thank you a business, thank you.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Derinda has arrived at the Que Boys dancing studio,
Speaker 1: where he seductively grinds with a large group. Derinda is
Speaker 1: invited to join them, borrowing clothes and shoes from some
Speaker 1: random lady who is three feet taller than you but
Speaker 1: apparently you fit into her shoes anyway, and jumping in
Speaker 1: to do some tango, salsa and ballroom. Right, did I
Speaker 1: get those rights? Yes?
Speaker 2: So my Tay, which they actually I didn't realize last night.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, they used her real name.
Speaker 2: So my te who helps us was actually our on
Speaker 2: site Spanish dancing assistant to help with language barrier situations
Speaker 2: like translation. She also she is an incredible like salsa
Speaker 2: Latin dancer who is like best friends with Shakira, so
Speaker 2: like she was like really cool to have on set.
Speaker 2: And then they asked her to go ahead and be
Speaker 2: in some of the scenes. Oh that was like, so
Speaker 2: we already knew her for a long time because she
Speaker 2: was within all the rehearsals.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's really really cool and I'm glad that
Speaker 1: I got it. So I also to say I never
Speaker 1: watched Dance with the Stars. I've never seen a single
Speaker 1: single episode, so I've never seen you dance other than
Speaker 1: the cheetah girl stuff on stage, and to watch you
Speaker 1: dance dance is phenomenal. You kill it.
Speaker 2: This actually is really not the great I kind of
Speaker 2: cringe at my youth. Don't like this really the way
Speaker 2: it's okay, it's hard. This is like one of my
Speaker 2: most proud scenes that I've ever done. It was so stunny.
Speaker 2: This is why I was fucking excited to work with
Speaker 2: Kenny Ortega. And I knew, especially when I saw in
Speaker 2: the script I had like a specific dance scene and
Speaker 2: it was a partner dance scene, I knew he was
Speaker 2: going to kill it. But when I look at like then,
Speaker 2: because I hadn't done Dancing with the Stars at this
Speaker 2: point yet. So then when I went and did Dancing
Speaker 2: with This Stars, and I learned more about the actual
Speaker 2: technique because they didn't really they taught me the moves,
Speaker 2: but they didn't teach the technique. We had like a
Speaker 2: full blown, real amazing like Latin and ballroom choreographer come
Speaker 2: in to do to help out with this, but he
Speaker 2: didn't teach me because they wanted me to not look like,
Speaker 2: oh I just picked Yeah, I wasn't supposed to look.
Speaker 1: Had you done this kind of dancing at all before? No? Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, I mean I did like a tap duet,
Speaker 2: like I hadn't even done partner work. I did a
Speaker 2: tap duet with a boy when I was when I
Speaker 2: was growing up, and we did a few lifts, but
Speaker 2: like lists were very uncomfortable for me, Like this was not.
Speaker 1: Like a god you hit that so well because it
Speaker 1: looked great. It really looked great.
Speaker 2: It shot so gorgeous. The whole choreography is really good, and.
Speaker 1: You look like you're getting along and you have almost
Speaker 1: that dirty dancing moment where you're kind of like you
Speaker 1: break and smile and you do all that. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a great scene.
Speaker 2: He told my manager Melissa. I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get a dirty dude.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: Because Kenny did. Kenny did dirty Dan scene, I know.
Speaker 2: So it was like, oh.
Speaker 1: My god, no, this is so amazing.
Speaker 2: It was a scene favorite days.
Speaker 1: On How long did it take? It only took one day?
Speaker 2: No, I think we probably did two days because we
Speaker 2: had a couple, like we did everything within two days
Speaker 2: in that one location. Gotchaight, So but it was like
Speaker 2: amazing and just it was just you could just tell
Speaker 2: how gorgeous it was going to be the life. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: are you kid? This was like what I was the
Speaker 2: most scared of is like getting something like this with
Speaker 2: as as excited as I was, I was scared I
Speaker 2: was going to screw.
Speaker 1: This up for Kenny or h Well, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: know very little about it, but you looked like you killed.
Speaker 1: It looked amazing.
Speaker 2: I think it was so fun. It was fun, and
Speaker 2: I thought the chemistry was like a real vibe. But
Speaker 2: it was great. We were both like excited and like,
Speaker 2: you know, he wasn't necessarily like a Latin dancer either, right,
Speaker 2: he was not a contemporary dancer. So we were both
Speaker 2: learning and both of us were looking at it like
Speaker 2: we're doing it like this is good, this is awesome,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And again not bashing your Cheetah Girl sisters at all,
Speaker 1: but knowing very little about dance, it's pretty easy to
Speaker 1: see that you're the best dancer of the four. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, but you can I mean, it's just you
Speaker 1: just can tell that you're a dancer.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I've had so much training.
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I mean. But you can really tell
Speaker 1: that that you're the best dancer of the four. Again,
Speaker 1: no offense to the other three. So this dance finishes,
Speaker 1: and even though Drenda seems entranced by his moves, she
Speaker 1: realizes she's late. She's got to go. He invites her
Speaker 1: to be his date for a beach party tomorrow. She
Speaker 1: says she can't, she has rehearsal mm hmm, So now
Speaker 1: she cares about rehearsal, but eventually says maybe and leaves.
Speaker 1: But tonight he'll see her at the Dancing Cat. He
Speaker 1: is very smitten by this American. We cut to that
Speaker 1: night outside the Dancing Cat, where tons of people have
Speaker 1: lined up to get in and celebrities are rushed inside.
Speaker 1: Galeria tells the door guy that they're the Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 1: and they're led right in and brought to Joaquin and
Speaker 1: some other bros. Galeria remarks, the club is off the chain,
Speaker 1: which of course it is. I know nothing of this chain.
Speaker 1: I can tell that this club is off of it.
Speaker 1: Before they can even get comfortable, though, a singer, Marisol,
Speaker 1: Barcelona's best chance to win the New Voices competition, takes
Speaker 1: the stage. She sings why Wait, a bilingual track about
Speaker 1: season the day the club goers love her. She eventually
Speaker 1: stage dives, and the Cheetah Girls know their growl pals
Speaker 1: in some stiff competition. Joaquin offers them some stage time,
Speaker 1: but the intimidated girl say they'll try another night. The
Speaker 1: next act takes the stage and it's that long haired,
Speaker 1: rised up Angelle from that lunch. He says he's gonna
Speaker 1: slow things down with an old acoustic lullaby and it's
Speaker 1: called a la Nanita Nana. I hope I got that right,
Speaker 1: Nana A la nita nana okay. Chanelle immediately recognizes the song.
Speaker 1: Her grandmother used to sing it to her, so she
Speaker 1: decides to just sing along as he plays, and is
Speaker 1: eventually joined by Marisol. Then the rest of the Cheetah
Speaker 1: Girls give each other a little head nod and join
Speaker 1: in with the harmonies. You know, like we all do,
Speaker 1: and we're just hanging out at clubs or whatever. The
Speaker 1: song ends, and everyone loves what they've heard, especially Marisol
Speaker 1: and Lola Duran, who's Marisol's mamager. They've heard all about
Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls and want to know if they've traveled
Speaker 1: to Spain alone. Gallerya explains they came with her mom,
Speaker 1: who was also a mamager. Lola can't wait to meet
Speaker 1: her and they exchange phone numbers with Chanelle to eventually
Speaker 1: set up another get together. Right away. I didn't trust
Speaker 1: this lady, oh right away. I didn't trust this lady.
Speaker 2: Also, that's the song I woant to cut.
Speaker 1: It was really so long. Although it looks really.
Speaker 2: Pretty, well, that's only one of two this this song.
Speaker 2: It was it was a very long song, and I
Speaker 2: get it. It's the way that we introduced the sure
Speaker 2: starting to join Force's type situation with Marisol and Chanel.
Speaker 2: But it just was like so long and it's not
Speaker 2: just pretty though it was pretty to me. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh man, you know, here we go, here we go,
Speaker 2: and you get the then we start getting into the
Speaker 2: things Kiley and Kiley. This is a time where Kiehi
Speaker 2: always goes. Remember when you got caught on I have
Speaker 2: like a couple times caught on camera where I'm giving Keey,
Speaker 2: like actual real eye rolls from Sabrina are you and
Speaker 2: I go, we get it, we get it, Aqua, And
Speaker 2: then I like give her like the most ds. I
Speaker 2: have these ridiculous eye rolls that I do, and I
Speaker 2: like She's like, oh man, you let me.
Speaker 1: Have it on this Oh yeah, oh I've got okay.
Speaker 2: Really irritated her at her in real life. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that I'm not. It's it's an eye roll that
Speaker 2: when I am irritated, I will do and it's so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh it's the best. Oh, I love that. Yes, they
Speaker 1: on the way out, Lola get again. Didn't trust this woman.
Speaker 1: But on the way Lola gives them a little advice.
Speaker 1: It's difficult to win the competition on your first try.
Speaker 1: It's actually Marisol's third attempt. Lola suggests they need to
Speaker 1: meet all the right people. They need to go to
Speaker 1: the right parties and sing the right songs to make
Speaker 1: a splash in Spain, which she can help with. The
Speaker 1: Next day, while Lola and Marisol out for a walk,
Speaker 1: Marisol's mom suggests that Lola stay with Chanel, so they
Speaker 1: can grow closer and Chanell can help her learn some English,
Speaker 1: and Marisol can return the favor by teaching Chanelle her
Speaker 1: contest song and choreography. So Marisol wonders if her mom
Speaker 1: is trying to breakup the Chetah Girls, and she says no,
Speaker 1: But when Marisol sang with Chanelle at the Dancing Cat,
Speaker 1: she got an idea. Marisol knows where this is going
Speaker 1: and she doesn't like it. She wants to win on
Speaker 1: her own, but Lola says she's already lost twice Yike's mom.
Speaker 1: They need something new and this can be the thing
Speaker 1: that puts her over the edge. Ooh vibes yes, and
Speaker 1: so the plan begins. The Cheetah girls, now with Dorothea,
Speaker 1: are on their way to meet Marisol and her mom
Speaker 1: for the beach party. Dorothea thinks it's a little weird
Speaker 1: that this woman wants to help, so did I, so
Speaker 1: she suggests they keep an eye on her, but the
Speaker 1: girls aren't worried about it, and they meet on what
Speaker 1: appears to be the top of a mountain, which was amazing.
Speaker 1: Lola kindly welcomes the girl and introduces herself to Dorothea.
Speaker 1: So now the crew will make their way to the
Speaker 1: beach party, where they already see Joaquin, who has some tapis.
Speaker 1: Durinda seems very happy about seeing her new love interest,
Speaker 1: but Galeria is freaking out that they aren't practicing for
Speaker 1: the contest at all. Thank you, Galeria. Everybody's out there.
Speaker 1: Galeria ain't gallivant, and well everybody else is. Maybe let's
Speaker 1: get some practice in for this thing we flew here for.
Speaker 1: But before they can even talk about it, Marisol pull
Speaker 1: Chanel away to meet her local friends. Yikes. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the beach party for a second, if we can.
Speaker 1: A choreographer obviously choreographs. I completely understand that. Yes, for
Speaker 1: the big long shot where you see the two kind
Speaker 1: of stories of the beach party, Uh huh, there's like
Speaker 1: the bottom row and the top row and it's all
Speaker 1: by the ocean. It's gorgeous. Is every one of those
Speaker 1: dances choreographed or do they just go dance like all right,
Speaker 1: everybody just dance for the background and go from there.
Speaker 1: Or is he going no, I want the top to
Speaker 1: look like this, I want the bottom to look like this.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think probably like the way he's doing it
Speaker 2: is I don't think it's necessarily choreographed unless he has
Speaker 2: to go in and say, no, I need you guys
Speaker 2: to like I need you to twirl her here, and
Speaker 2: like he's kind of placing it. But for the most part,
Speaker 2: like that wasn't like a choreographed set. Okay, he did
Speaker 2: have what's great as him and Chucky and then also
Speaker 2: my take came in and they were they would split
Speaker 2: up and kind of help the people that were on
Speaker 2: camera of what they need to do and just what
Speaker 2: they're looking for. But it wasn't like they didn't have
Speaker 2: like rehearsals for sech.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I was wondering. Okay, got it.
Speaker 2: But they definitely they were a great team where they
Speaker 2: would like kind of just like split up, like Kenny
Speaker 2: would say, like I want this group to kind of
Speaker 2: do this stuff, you know and whirling yeah, and he
Speaker 2: like he loves to have it expanded so you see
Speaker 2: it kind of on a broad gape and stuff. One
Speaker 2: part about this was this was in Seeches is where
Speaker 2: we filmed this, and there was a nude beach like
Speaker 2: just over the like balcony.
Speaker 1: Yeah heck yeah, welcome to Spain. But it wasn't like.
Speaker 2: A nude beach with a bunch of sexy people. It
Speaker 2: was like old men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen nude beaches in Europe. They're not what
Speaker 1: you think they are most of the time.
Speaker 2: They're not the sexy one that you think that you
Speaker 2: would ever want to see. Like you kind of went
Speaker 2: there's a nude beach and you're like what you went
Speaker 2: over there and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, yes, it's not Love Island nude beach. It's
Speaker 1: oh old man nude beach. Yeah, yes it is, Yes
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: But that was really fun to.
Speaker 1: Hit a certain age to be that comfortable naked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were shooting shooting like that. A Disney channel
Speaker 2: was movies shooting nude beach.
Speaker 1: Later on, Derinda is hanging out and flirting with Joaquin.
Speaker 1: They're talking about dancing and his family's expectations that will
Speaker 1: go to Oxford. Derinda admits her home life is also complicated.
Speaker 1: I like how the two characters kept saying complicated, but
Speaker 1: keeps the whole orphan thing a secret. For now. We're
Speaker 1: back at Luke's resort, which is the only thing it
Speaker 1: could be called. Dorothya is telling Juanita something isn't right
Speaker 1: with this. Lola and Janita is still just focusing on
Speaker 1: Luke's possible proposal. Spain sure is confusing all the way around.
Speaker 1: And in another room, the Cheetah girls are finally practicing.
Speaker 1: Galeria is at the piano, but the others just want
Speaker 1: to nap after the party. Chanelle is already bringing up advice.
Speaker 1: Lola told her to sing a little something something in Spanish,
Speaker 1: but Galleria doesn't get it. They don't speak Spanish. Before
Speaker 1: any argument can occur, they're saved by the bell because
Speaker 1: Direnda gets a call from Joaquin to teach a hip
Speaker 1: hop class. Chanell needs to get ready for Luke's family,
Speaker 1: who are coming over for lunch, and Aqua is going
Speaker 1: back with Dorothea to Aramet's studio. Yikes, nobody's practicing here.
Speaker 1: The band practice ended less than thirty minutes since it began,
Speaker 1: and now they're only six days left before the competition. Galleria, who'
Speaker 1: found herself alone, knows there's no way they can even
Speaker 1: learn a Spanish song in time. Obviously, let's rehearse a
Speaker 1: little bit here, people, And soon after, Luke's rambunctious and
Speaker 1: casual family arrives at the compound, greeted by a very
Speaker 1: fancily dressed Chanelle and her mom, while Derinda is smack
Speaker 1: dab in the middle of teaching a hardcore dance class
Speaker 1: like hip hop and and everything. It was so cool,
Speaker 1: I'm going to sign up for one myself. Aqua's getting
Speaker 1: a design lesson for the Cheeah Girls outfits, and Galeria
Speaker 1: is told to piano practicing by herself writing music like
Speaker 1: a mad woman, and they did make her look like
Speaker 1: she a little bit of a mad woman as she
Speaker 1: was writing that music. The girls all finally meet back
Speaker 1: at Luke's, filling each other in on their big days,
Speaker 1: but Chanell is nowhere to be found. Galleria wants to
Speaker 1: play her her new song Idea, but they are all
Speaker 1: focused on breakfast instead, and Dorinda wants to go to
Speaker 1: lunch with Joaquin, spending an awful lot of time with
Speaker 1: this Joaquin chap I know. Galeria knows they won't have
Speaker 1: a chance at winning this thing if they never practice, obviously,
Speaker 1: but no one seems to care as much as she does.
Speaker 1: Now again alone, Galeria phils deserted. But here's some laughing outside.
Speaker 1: It's Chanelle writing a Spanish song with Marisol. What a
Speaker 1: two timer, Chanelle says, they're just fooling around. Uh huh,
Speaker 1: but we know better than that. Galleria doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: The Cheetah girls need to rehearse. She doesn't have to
Speaker 1: rehearse with Marisol, but Marisol says she didn't just stop by,
Speaker 1: she was invited to come over.
Speaker 3: Ooh.
Speaker 1: Also, Chanell doesn't like being told with the dow. This
Speaker 1: turns into a fight. Galeria is accused of being too
Speaker 1: controlling and Chanell is supposedly turning her back on the Cheetahs.
Speaker 1: Things aren't looking good. Did they not see the beginning
Speaker 1: of the movie, Nothing's Gonna split us apart? So about
Speaker 1: half the songs are about it's being friends for every
Speaker 1: So what the hell is happening? You're throwing me here?
Speaker 1: And I don't like it.
Speaker 2: Gallery is being bossy, and that's the same thing that
Speaker 2: happened in the first movie. It was like, he hasn't
Speaker 2: learned your lesson. None of us like being bossed around.
Speaker 1: Hey, y'all, maybe we should rehearse for this international competition.
Speaker 1: Is now being bossy. Yikes. I believed it in the
Speaker 1: first one. I don't believe it in the second one.
Speaker 2: No, this is such a teenager thing, Like, yes, I
Speaker 2: want to. I want to compete, but I don't really
Speaker 2: want to practice right.
Speaker 1: And there's a cute boy, and there's this, and there's that.
Speaker 1: There's other things to distract me.
Speaker 2: I get, well, Spain's got a lot to offer.
Speaker 1: It's not even Spain. I see shiny keys, and I'm
Speaker 1: still distracted. Derinda returns to the dance studio and it's
Speaker 1: surprised when Joaquin arrives with a group of high class coworkers,
Speaker 1: including a girl, all in suits. He awkwardly sends him off,
Speaker 1: and Derinda is worded out, why did he make his
Speaker 1: friends leave without even introducing this to her? She's offended.
Speaker 1: She's afraid they're just from different worlds. And I thought
Speaker 1: Derinda jumped to this conclusion a little fast.
Speaker 2: Right, Like, why don't you take a step back, girlfriend,
Speaker 2: chill out for a second.
Speaker 1: She saw she saw a three piece suit and was like,
Speaker 1: we're from different worlds.
Speaker 2: Like, wait a.
Speaker 1: Second, you could have found that suit on the street,
Speaker 1: Like my god, you got instantly offended. Yeah, different world.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was hilarious to watch so fast.
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, no red flag, there though no red
Speaker 1: flag there at all. Yikes, waving it.
Speaker 2: Waving it I know. God.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, she thinks he's royalty basically, and she reveels
Speaker 1: she's a foster kid. During the dances for her future,
Speaker 1: he dances as a hobby. Oh in the dance world,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big cut. Joaquin wants to talk
Speaker 1: this out like a human, but it's just too complicated
Speaker 1: for Derenda. This is a big us. This is a
Speaker 1: big in ted scene. Do you remember filming this and
Speaker 1: ever thinking maybe I should back off a little. Oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 2: They wanted it intense. They wanted it like you know,
Speaker 2: she's hurt. She put herself out there a tie.
Speaker 1: They never getting together.
Speaker 2: I know he wore tie. It's over.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was wow. Yikes. Yeah. Dorothea is still sketching
Speaker 1: out clothing ideas, a passion from her past that Spain
Speaker 1: has reignited. She says that Aram and Randolph loved her
Speaker 1: design so much they want to make a sample of
Speaker 1: one of her pieces for their spring collection. Galleria has
Speaker 1: some news too. She's going home. Sheanelle has abandoned her
Speaker 1: for Marisol, and she doesn't want to lose her as
Speaker 1: a friend. Now, Okay, this could so easily have been
Speaker 1: written I'm going home I'm a little bratty. I don't
Speaker 1: want to blah blah blah. But they didn't. They really
Speaker 1: did write it in such a way where she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose her as a friend if I push. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. We're not gonna win. Nobody's practicing,
Speaker 1: so no chance of winning.
Speaker 2: Nobody cares at this.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. I'm the only one that does, and I
Speaker 1: am not going to lose my friend over this, so
Speaker 1: it's best if I leave. It was really written in
Speaker 1: a way where I was like, Wow, I like how
Speaker 1: they did that. They did make her very mature, yes,
Speaker 1: and it was.
Speaker 2: A good huge That was one of the things that
Speaker 2: I loved that Kenny really dove into was developing the
Speaker 2: character and the maturity level of where it should have
Speaker 2: been like. He did it in different ways, like Aqua
Speaker 2: using hers was like the evolution of her designing and
Speaker 2: her designing love for designing. He did a lot of
Speaker 2: me where I was like tomboy in the first one,
Speaker 2: and he wanted me to look a lot like more
Speaker 2: of like you know, like feminine that I had grown into,
Speaker 2: like my body and I'd grown into like my love
Speaker 2: of dance, and like more of having a softer side
Speaker 2: because I had these great friends around me that I
Speaker 2: could I didn't need to be so crazy. Although this
Speaker 2: lasting didn't show my growth, A.
Speaker 1: Little bit of growth, but yikes, Yeah, I'm texting my
Speaker 1: boys going, I got a red flag in front of me. Boys,
Speaker 1: I got a red flag in front of me.
Speaker 2: So very sick. But that was what he was wanting
Speaker 2: to do. And a big thing for Galeria's character was
Speaker 2: her growth of learning when to step back and allow
Speaker 2: people to take their own journeys. And I loved this
Speaker 2: and I thought, raz she killed it was incredible. She is.
Speaker 1: You're all good as actors in this movie. You're all
Speaker 1: good as actors in this movie. But she's phenomenal. It's
Speaker 1: like she's like watching It's like watching Shia, you know,
Speaker 1: you watch somebody who's just kind of working at a
Speaker 1: different level than you know. When I worked with kids
Speaker 1: like that, I was like, I'm just not on that level.
Speaker 1: There's just some kids that are, and it's a handful
Speaker 1: in every generation, and she's one of them. She really
Speaker 1: is one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean the scenes, I love the scene when
Speaker 2: and she's not afraid to go there either. I love
Speaker 2: this scene when she was trying to talk the moms
Speaker 2: into us all going and like her facials and she's
Speaker 2: like dotor.
Speaker 1: Her facial expressions are so funny where she catches you
Speaker 1: guys kissing and all. It's yes, she.
Speaker 2: Goes from being like like a Lucille ball to like
Speaker 2: this like in depth care. I mean, she's just phenomenal.
Speaker 1: No, she really is very very again all great acting
Speaker 1: is very strong in this movie. But she's she's a star.
Speaker 1: She really is. She's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, Galeria says she doesn't think they can
Speaker 1: win the competition because they haven't practiced or rehearsed. Dorothea
Speaker 1: says she'll leave tomorrow then, but Galeria doesn't want her
Speaker 1: mom to ditch her big big two. So she's going
Speaker 1: to take a train to Paris to meet her dad
Speaker 1: and during the layoverarth they'll fly home together. She seems
Speaker 1: at peace about it, and her mom is impressed with
Speaker 1: their maturity and rightfully so. And so that night, Dorothea
Speaker 1: and Juanita break the news to the Cheetah girls. Chanel
Speaker 1: wants to talk to Galeria, but she's apparently sleeping. Derinda
Speaker 1: and Akwer realized they've been distracted the whole trip, but
Speaker 1: Chanelle gets defensive about it. They decide to give Galeria
Speaker 1: some space, but you know what that means. It's time
Speaker 1: for a song. We see Galeria packing her things, not sleeping,
Speaker 1: when she breaks into It's over, a song about how
Speaker 1: the trip is well is over. Chanelle jumps in and
Speaker 1: while they're moping and half dancing, were on the ground,
Speaker 1: same with Aqua and Derinda Sabrina. This is the one
Speaker 1: I would have cut. Uh, it's it's it's this one's
Speaker 1: pretty cheesy. This first of all, how many wind machines
Speaker 1: are actually on you as you're trying to sit down.
Speaker 2: And that's not even all of the shots. They didn't
Speaker 2: use all the shots that we had. And that wind
Speaker 2: machine went with me everywhere, everywhere.
Speaker 1: And this, this.
Speaker 2: Is the this is okay. Two things to say about this.
Speaker 2: I remember filming this, and I remember not enjoying it.
Speaker 2: I felt that it felt too.
Speaker 1: Over the top top.
Speaker 2: I was there as you know, Raven was shooting her scenes.
Speaker 2: I watched Adrian, I watched Keeley. I thought actually looked
Speaker 2: the most normal out of all of us.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not a high bar and I just remember.
Speaker 2: I just remember thinking like this, this isn't it because
Speaker 2: this is the thing. This is the thing with a musical,
Speaker 2: it's not like a music video type idea, right, Like
Speaker 2: it's a musical, so it's different. And it just for
Speaker 2: me felt so unnatural. It was just it was so
Speaker 2: dramatic and just like I remember not thinking I was
Speaker 2: gonna at least at least me was not gonna look
Speaker 2: great doing this. I was uncomfortable. And then it took
Speaker 2: me back when we were this is the scene. I
Speaker 2: remember thinking when we looked at Vanessa Hudgens in her
Speaker 2: yes always scene, and I felt like I recognized that
Speaker 2: that that body language of like you don't really feel
Speaker 2: comfortable doing this. And I'm not saying she did it,
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying she didn't do a great job,
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying like that, like the movements and
Speaker 2: the throwing the hair, and it's like we're like, this
Speaker 2: is just I don't know. It was.
Speaker 1: It also wasn't my favorite song. And I really liked
Speaker 1: the US in this movie. I really did, like I
Speaker 1: genuinely I looked at you at one point, I'm like,
Speaker 1: these are the songs are good?
Speaker 2: This is when though, like I was like taking my
Speaker 2: blanket master Jordan and Monroe and going, I can't believe
Speaker 2: my magical Rewind family is going to watch this for
Speaker 2: all of them again the first.
Speaker 1: Time, the first time. And I'll bet you our Magical
Speaker 1: Rewind producers knew every line, every word, every dance, everything.
Speaker 2: It just only and it might not be as bad
Speaker 2: as I think it is because I again, I was
Speaker 2: in my own head when we filmed it. So then,
Speaker 2: of course it's a little cheesy back there.
Speaker 1: It's a little cheesy. It's also as weird as they
Speaker 1: break the fourth wall. I mean, at one point, Raven's
Speaker 1: looking right into the camera and I'm going, yeah, why
Speaker 1: looking right into the lens.
Speaker 2: It just was, it was, this is the.
Speaker 1: One I would have cut. Is it the worst thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life? Of course not, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's a yes exactly, but it just wasn't. I just
Speaker 2: it just didn't need to be that.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree, and you know why because the
Speaker 1: rest of the songs, the rest of the dances, and
Speaker 1: the rest of the movies were specific The rest of
Speaker 1: the movie was specifically not this, yes, And that's why
Speaker 1: I think it was so jarring. If most of the
Speaker 1: movie was like this, it would have just been another
Speaker 1: one of those things. But this seemed like it was
Speaker 1: almost from a different movie, you know, So this is
Speaker 1: the one I would have cut.
Speaker 2: That I will say, is something that like the kids like, oh,
Speaker 2: they must love it. They do, like the fans love this.
Speaker 1: This is Zachron on the golf course.
Speaker 2: Is course, And that's what I'm saying, Like, it's one
Speaker 2: of those things for me that I look back and
Speaker 2: go not my proudest moment, but.
Speaker 1: It's again you you guys were fine. You were doing
Speaker 1: what you were doing. I just this would another one
Speaker 1: that I would have cut. But anyway, it's that thing.
Speaker 1: They're still in it. I'm still in it. I'm still here.
Speaker 1: The next morning, leave.
Speaker 2: It on the cutting room.
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't more wind? Yes, I was waiting for
Speaker 1: like leaves to be blown in ad in the face,
Speaker 1: like more wind. Yeah. The next morning, Sheel wakes up
Speaker 1: and goes right to Galeria's room to talk, but she's
Speaker 1: already gone. She left the sheet music for her new
Speaker 1: song in the bed, and right then Marisol calls for Chanel,
Speaker 1: which why would Marisol be calling that room anyway? Yes,
Speaker 1: yes again, but she says she'll call.
Speaker 2: Her back the notice. Then I'm just gonna say this
Speaker 2: because it's not that big of a deal, but how
Speaker 2: did Galeria or whoever get that giant poster of the
Speaker 2: festival which is.
Speaker 1: That's on kill? Is it not? Isn't that angel on
Speaker 1: the poster? That's what I thought? Okay, So yes, gallery
Speaker 1: is gone. We're now at the trade station, which is
Speaker 1: another massively gorgeous building. Galeria wheels her bag and to
Speaker 1: find her platform when she hears singing it's the Cheetah
Speaker 1: girls still in their pajamas singing the song she wrote.
Speaker 1: And I think the more important question is how did
Speaker 1: you invent a machine to get you there so quickly?
Speaker 1: And why haven't you patented that? Because she obviously left
Speaker 1: first thing in the morning to get to the train station,
Speaker 1: and you beat her there.
Speaker 2: Essentially, I'm assuming she was like waiting in the lobby
Speaker 2: her train was about to come.
Speaker 1: No, they show her walk in.
Speaker 2: Into the train station. Yes, well, though she was in
Speaker 2: like a lobby of some sort. She walked to where
Speaker 2: the trains were.
Speaker 1: Oh so you imagine she had been sitting there for
Speaker 1: a while. And then they they yeah, well, because they
Speaker 1: train station and then all of a sudden, you guys
Speaker 1: are there, like you magic snaw.
Speaker 2: Maybe she would have had a shot of her like
Speaker 2: like where we were actually sitting while everything was being
Speaker 2: fair there I go something like that lobby because it
Speaker 2: was that was that was that was pretty pretty fast.
Speaker 1: But anyway, it's the Cheeah girls. They're still in their
Speaker 1: pajama singing the song she wrote. This scene is truly amazing.
Speaker 1: They love what she wrote and it's four part harmony,
Speaker 1: so they need her. She now asked her forgiveness in
Speaker 1: her pink poodle slippers, and Gallery accepts. The Cheetah girls
Speaker 1: hug and now it's time to rehearse. Finally, they race
Speaker 1: back to Luke's and get to the piano. Mid rehearsal,
Speaker 1: Lola calls to apologize bout Galeria, not knowing the newest
Speaker 1: series of events, but learns quickly the Cheetahs are back
Speaker 1: and ready to be fierce. Lola, quick on her toes,
Speaker 1: pretends to be happy about this and books them for
Speaker 1: Wednesday at the Dancing Cat for a warm up gig.
Speaker 1: And I knew exactly where this was going to be going.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I don't trust her. Still don't
Speaker 1: trust her. We're now back at Luke's. Wanita is still
Speaker 1: complaining to Dorothea about not being engaged. His family was
Speaker 1: wonderful to her in Chanelle and the relationship is great.
Speaker 1: While she's having a bit of a little panic attack.
Speaker 1: Wanted to worries that her daughter is the reason he
Speaker 1: hasn't popped the question and Chanell overhears from the other room. Womp, womp.
Speaker 1: So Chanelle races to Luke's room and apologizes. She says
Speaker 1: she's been acting like a spoiled brat and is just
Speaker 1: nervous to her mom get hurt again. He says he
Speaker 1: loves her mom and would never hurt her. Chanelle thanks
Speaker 1: him for his generosity. She'd be very proud to be
Speaker 1: part of his family. Luke kisses her hand in response.
Speaker 1: It's a very sweet scene. Next thing we know, and
Speaker 1: here's what gets a little weird. All of the weight
Speaker 1: staff and the Cheetah crew have gathered at the front
Speaker 1: door to watch. Luke asked one needed to marry him.
Speaker 1: So it really was Chanelle's fault?
Speaker 2: I mean, I I think no. I think he just
Speaker 2: at some point wasn't sure when he was gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Within the trip and then her coming and giving her
Speaker 2: like blessing. Yeah, it seemed like the timings wearing.
Speaker 1: This was this quick writing thing where it was like
Speaker 1: they really made it look like, oh my god, it
Speaker 1: was her fault. Yeah, that that he hadn't proposed and
Speaker 1: until she went and apologized, then he went and proposed.
Speaker 1: It was a weird like because he was like, it
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with you, but then I'm going
Speaker 1: to go propose. So yeah, it made it seem a
Speaker 1: little bit like fault.
Speaker 2: I mean I took it, especially when you see it
Speaker 2: again like world's worst proposal. Zero zero thought of that
Speaker 2: and like, geez, come on, looke. With all that money, homie,
Speaker 2: there's no like blimp or sky in, like sky riding
Speaker 2: or like doves being thrown.
Speaker 1: Do you think with all that money, you think with
Speaker 1: all that money, a single woman in the world would
Speaker 1: have been like, I didn't like your proposal. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say no it could They could have been in a
Speaker 1: dumpster and they would be like, I love you, Luke.
Speaker 2: Not with the rock he pulled out. Holy cow, that
Speaker 2: thing was giant. But the proposal in general was just
Speaker 2: like she just happens to be sitting.
Speaker 1: There, That's what I mean, which is a weird place
Speaker 1: to sit and read a book. That's the other thing, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing.
Speaker 2: When before we've seen that shot many times with the
Speaker 2: table and chairs.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a table there like a like a
Speaker 1: little while ago.
Speaker 2: Why aren't you sitting over next door where we've seen
Speaker 2: gallery and her mom in a lounge area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't make any sense, but she does have
Speaker 1: a huge rock and they push in on it. You
Speaker 1: could barely see where the Titanic hit it. Yeah, so yes,
Speaker 1: then that was it. They're engaged when he says yes,
Speaker 1: and we get a big celebration in the front yard.
Speaker 1: We're now back at the dance studio. Dorinda has come
Speaker 1: to see Joaquin. Oh that's never weird when you do
Speaker 1: that and you're giant red flag, then you come back.
Speaker 1: She hasn't been returning his calls for days. She thanks
Speaker 1: him for letting her use his dance studio, but he
Speaker 1: admits Luke is the one who owns it. Joaquin just
Speaker 1: gets to use it if he teaches here. He's actually poor,
Speaker 1: which he would have told her had she not run
Speaker 1: out and not said all the I don't want to
Speaker 1: be with you, and then that was it. He didn't
Speaker 1: introduce her to his rich friends because he couldn't afford
Speaker 1: to go where they were eating. He his account, but
Speaker 1: he's also broke his family lost her money years ago.
Speaker 1: And then the Cheetah girls arrived for dance practice, sort
Speaker 1: of ruining the moment. Drinda apologizes and Woaquin reveals he'll
Speaker 1: be in New York in the fall for the dance
Speaker 1: competition and he wants to Renda to be his partner.
Speaker 1: And then oh and then people they kiss. Woooo Sabrina
Speaker 1: walk us through the kiss. Did you talk about it before?
Speaker 1: Was there gonna be tongue? Was there gonna be no tongue?
Speaker 1: Who discussed it? What happened? Is this your first on
Speaker 1: screen kiss? So many questions?
Speaker 2: This is my first on screen kiss. Okay, we didn't
Speaker 2: talk about it. It was his first on screen kiss
Speaker 2: as well, so we didn't know to talk about it.
Speaker 2: And but we also, I mean, for me, it's like, hello,
Speaker 2: we're on the channel. We're not doing tongue, that's like.
Speaker 1: And so there was no tongue, no, okay, just.
Speaker 2: Like a big, like you know, open mouth smooch. It
Speaker 2: wasn't like a clothes, like you know, it.
Speaker 1: Was It wasn't Christy Carlson.
Speaker 2: It was not Christy Carlson macking down on that was
Speaker 2: not happening. I was so you you know me well
Speaker 2: enough to know how uncomfortable I would have been in
Speaker 2: a situation like that.
Speaker 1: Everybody who's like, oh, you get to kiss all these
Speaker 1: people on camera, you get to do a sex scene,
Speaker 1: they're usually the worst. Yeah they are. It's hot, there's
Speaker 1: people watching you. It's yeah, it's weird, you know.
Speaker 2: And it's like even still like we're you know, you know,
Speaker 2: trying to keep the like the the energy and the
Speaker 2: vibe between us, like we're trying not to go too
Speaker 2: far into the friend zone so that it looks, you know,
Speaker 2: it's believable that we've got this great, like kind of
Speaker 2: romantic chemistry. So we're you know, and then it's like
Speaker 2: just like looking around like okay, and then it's like
Speaker 2: the next shot, and then Kenny's like all right, we're
Speaker 2: going to do one more, and I'm looking at Kenny
Speaker 2: like how many times are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you know I hated Kenny.
Speaker 1: Do you now did you have a boyfriend in real life?
Speaker 1: At the time, I.
Speaker 2: Was kind of at the end, I had a real boyfriend.
Speaker 2: There was one that came to Spain. Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: my long term boyfriend. So yeah, but we were kind
Speaker 2: of in a weird spot.
Speaker 1: So it's so weird though you're like in a relationship.
Speaker 1: It's like legal cheating when you're doing yes any strange and.
Speaker 2: I don't think, you know, being in my early twenties
Speaker 2: and not really thinking too much into it. I don't
Speaker 2: think I even told him that I had a kiss
Speaker 2: in the movie, like because I didn't want to bring
Speaker 2: it up right, I didn't want it, you know. It's
Speaker 2: like that weird thing. And you know, God, I don't
Speaker 2: even know that that was just such an awkward heart
Speaker 2: And then lurs Keeley, Adrian and Raven were not helping.
Speaker 2: They were totally coally making it. How they performed it
Speaker 2: on camera is exactly how they treated me day of
Speaker 2: all day today, the kissing day. How are we gonna
Speaker 2: do it, Sabrina? Are you gonna go like this? Are
Speaker 2: you gonna go like this? How's it gonna be? Are
Speaker 2: gonna let him get cop a feel? I'm like, cut
Speaker 2: it out. I love us amping up the anxiety for
Speaker 2: these are there the awesome friends exactly sure it is.
Speaker 1: Now, after this incredible kiss time, for which I'm sure
Speaker 1: there was some tongue that You're just not admitting to,
Speaker 1: it's time for Cheetah Girls dance practice, and now they're
Speaker 1: finally focused. We get a new song step up, all
Speaker 1: about how it's time to work. Now, it's time to
Speaker 1: work for real. The girls have gotten it all together,
Speaker 1: and just in time for the dance cap warm up show,
Speaker 1: we're thrown right into the performance of The girls look great.
Speaker 1: Lolo's in the audience and looks impressed. After the show, however,
Speaker 1: Lola introduces the Cheetah Girls to the owner of the club,
Speaker 1: who surprisingly pays them for the performances. And I knew
Speaker 1: right then. I was like, it's an amateur competition. You
Speaker 1: can't take money. With only two days left before the performance,
Speaker 1: Lola warns them lights out early because tomorrow is sound check,
Speaker 1: and so the next day, the Cheetah Girls finally see
Speaker 1: the festival outdoor stage. But get this, their dressing room
Speaker 1: is in the small corner of a huge, beautiful little building.
Speaker 1: Did you expect anything else? Excited about Aqua and Dorothea's
Speaker 1: proposed outfits, the Cheater Girls celebrate, but are interrupted by
Speaker 1: the festival director. Unfortunately, because the girls took money from
Speaker 1: the dancing cat owner, this makes them professional singers. The
Speaker 1: competition is only for amateurs. They've been kicked off of
Speaker 1: the show. Lola has an idea though, Wow, thanks Lola
Speaker 1: for coming up with a great idea. Marisol can join
Speaker 1: the group and they won't be I know what it's
Speaker 1: like they have. She had a plan. They won't be
Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls anymore. They'll be amateurs again. Galeria isn't sold.
Speaker 1: Marisol doesn't know any of the songs that she sings
Speaker 1: in Spanish, but Marisol reminds them Chanelle does know some
Speaker 1: of her songs, says she isn't performing without her girls,
Speaker 1: thank you, But Galeria doesn't want them to have gone
Speaker 1: all the way to Barcelona for nothing. The Cheetah Girls
Speaker 1: should have some representation on that stage. The girls all agree,
Speaker 1: and Chanelle's whisked away now an official duo with Marisol
Speaker 1: back at Luke's. Dorothea reminds the girl she knew Lola
Speaker 1: was trouble this entire time, as did. I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask Luke if there's anything he can do, you know,
Speaker 1: as a very rich person, but he says no. The
Speaker 1: girls still want everyone there to support Chanelle. But some
Speaker 1: good news. Luke reveals that he and Juanita will be
Speaker 1: living in New York, so Chanelle doesn't have to move
Speaker 1: and she won't miss her senior year and possibly a
Speaker 1: third film. But most importantly, the Cheetah Girls can stay together.
Speaker 1: And with that, Galeria says, there's only one thing left
Speaker 1: to do. They go to the Dancing Cat and return
Speaker 1: the money to the owner over the principle of it
Speaker 1: and hiding in the shadows. Boooo is that huge little
Speaker 1: flirt on Kel and his guitar. He sees them leave.
Speaker 1: Now it's the night of the competition and Channel is
Speaker 1: practicing with Marisol as the Cheetahs watch on. Then the
Speaker 1: festival director returns. He wants to know what the Cheetah
Speaker 1: girls are even doing here. They're about to see themselves
Speaker 1: out when he reveals a reliable source told them that
Speaker 1: Lola was the one who arranged for the Dancing Cat
Speaker 1: to pay the girls. She of course denies it, but
Speaker 1: he says his nephew told him, and his secret nephew
Speaker 1: is and because of this, the Cheetah Girls are allowed
Speaker 1: to perform. Marisol has also had enough of her conniving
Speaker 1: mom and storms off, leaving her future completely and totally murky.
Speaker 1: And that's time for the big contest. The Princess of
Speaker 1: Barcelona is announced, but Marisol never comes out on stage.
Speaker 1: She's at the catering eating what looks like an amazing
Speaker 1: looks like it's a whole churro, bars, chocol Oh, that's
Speaker 1: where I would have been too. I don't know, well,
Speaker 1: that's where I would have been to. I don't need
Speaker 1: to perform. Just give me a big thing at chiros
Speaker 1: and chocolate and I am absolutely fine. And that's a
Speaker 1: good thing because her mom never lets her enjoy these things.
Speaker 1: That leaves only the final act. Straight from New York
Speaker 1: City and Texas, it's the Cheetah Girls. Angel Galleria's new
Speaker 1: boy toy has joined them with his guitar, and the
Speaker 1: sketches have come to life now, ranging from festive Matador
Speaker 1: to bright kind of Carmen San Diego. The girls are
Speaker 1: performing a new song, Amiga's Cheetahs, the perfect way to
Speaker 1: celebrate in Spain. It's an anthem about friendship and overcoming
Speaker 1: obstacles together. This is a big number now. Sabrina Was
Speaker 1: this the hardest one to do in the movie?
Speaker 2: I mean, dance wise, no, but this was a night shoot,
Speaker 2: so we were filming really late, I mean literally trying
Speaker 2: to beat out the sun coming up like it was.
Speaker 1: Was this one night or did you do it over
Speaker 1: multiple nights?
Speaker 2: We did it a couple nights. We had a couple
Speaker 2: I think it was probably like three or four nights
Speaker 2: that we had when we did any of the night stuff. Well,
Speaker 2: this was no because when we were in Sieches is
Speaker 2: when we did It's Over, which is obviously a night
Speaker 2: shoot as well. But this one was tough because it
Speaker 2: was I mean, it was doing it over and over
Speaker 2: and over. This is a big number, you know, and
Speaker 2: Kenny was in full blast, like I'm sure just creator
Speaker 2: just insane mode of just wanting his visuals everything he
Speaker 2: was doing. He was like again again again, you know,
Speaker 2: and we're like, all right, all right, here we go. Man.
Speaker 2: It was just it was it was hard because we
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure Kenny got everything that he felt
Speaker 2: he needed before the sun came up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense. And then there's a big surprise.
Speaker 1: The Cheetahs are joined on stage by their new Amiga Marisol.
Speaker 1: The crowd goes nuts for their hometown hero, and we
Speaker 1: have a fifth honorary cheetaht well sixth if you count me.
Speaker 1: They're also joined by honky drummers and the festival director
Speaker 1: who's wailing on a trumpet for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Durinda's dance partner is Jaquen at cender stage, and even
Speaker 1: Lola is feeling it in the audience. All of our
Speaker 1: main characters take a bout, with the Cheetah Girls dancing
Speaker 1: into the crowd. A lot of extras here, then the
Speaker 1: credits roll. Hold the on, I've now been here for
Speaker 1: ninety seven minutes. Who won the contest? I watched all
Speaker 1: the credits. I'm like, they're obviously gonna show us something.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. That's not even art because in the
Speaker 2: DVD at that time, the d coms had a DVD
Speaker 2: exclusive like extra scene.
Speaker 1: Sure wasn't explaining the whole film.
Speaker 2: It was the wedding.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, okay, so we found online,
Speaker 1: you have to you just confirmed an alternate ending exists,
Speaker 1: not including the main broadcast. It features Janeda and Luke's
Speaker 1: wedding with the Cheetah Girls singing cherish the moment during
Speaker 1: the summer during the ceremony, not really.
Speaker 2: An alternate it was like an additional extra scene.
Speaker 1: Were they singing it as the winners of the contest,
Speaker 1: because I still don't know, God.
Speaker 2: We were, I know, I thought the same thing as like, wait,
Speaker 2: we didn't even know, Like they didn't even say if
Speaker 2: we want or not? No, I mean, no idea we did.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's clear. I think the first guy
Speaker 1: with the DJ who was doing the singing, that's the
Speaker 1: guy who won DJ. That's the guy who won DJ.
Speaker 1: Whatever the hell. Oh, I couldn't believe it. I was
Speaker 1: like ninety seven minutes and I still don't know who
Speaker 1: won the damn contest. Anyway. That is Cheetah Girls too.
Speaker 1: And it's time for real reviews and I get the
Speaker 1: five star review. I'm very excited. This is from little
Speaker 1: Miss Pink, Little Miss Pink, and here we go five

Speaker 1: a projector, and I dance and sing along with this
Speaker 1: movie every day. I am a smart twelve going on

Speaker 1: our last one. De Roka City, I'm going with City.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with baseball player. Will wins this one.
Speaker 1: So close, so close? All right, now we are going
Speaker 1: to be doing some more. Do you have more? Sabrina sees.
Speaker 2: I think just like kind of highlighting a little bit
Speaker 2: on list please. We talked about it in the beginning,
Speaker 2: like the fashion, Like I really loved that. Deborah Martin,
Speaker 2: Chase and Kenny We're just really adamant on because the
Speaker 2: channel was really wanting to introduce this new culture, you know,
Speaker 2: to to the fans. They weren't out in Spain yet
Speaker 2: Disney Channels, so this was like a big deal of
Speaker 2: really wanting to bring smart so much more stuff, the food,
Speaker 2: you know, and but mainly wanting to look and show
Speaker 2: that the fashion. And I loved that, like the end
Speaker 2: routines that what we end up wearing shows a lot
Speaker 2: of that Spanish fashion, but it's also in like kimono
Speaker 2: and like the fabrics that you see throughout the movie.
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's everywhere, and I loved it. Even
Speaker 2: for me. I saw the little bag that I had
Speaker 2: it's literally like a mini sweatshirt with long arms that
Speaker 2: you tie at the top. But that's what like all
Speaker 2: the girls were using. It's a bat in the hoodie
Speaker 2: is the top part that goes over your bag?
Speaker 1: Do you still have that?
Speaker 2: No, it got trashed. I used it so much in
Speaker 2: the movie and then also brought it home and used it,
Speaker 2: and but yeah, that was like something that all the
Speaker 2: girls were wearing. So we really like tried to start
Speaker 2: embracing and using a lot of that stuff within the movie,
Speaker 2: which I really loved. And even just our final outfits obviously,
Speaker 2: like not just Ravens who had her big long train,
Speaker 2: but like the delicate, like the ballero looking outfits that
Speaker 2: we wore and tried to have them like as a
Speaker 2: mix and a hybrid of the outfits that we would
Speaker 2: wear normally. And then of course obviously the dancing. I
Speaker 2: loved that. Kenny really wanted to do the mash of
Speaker 2: seeing what we did as like kind of hip hop
Speaker 2: dancers along with the Latin style and migas Cheetahs did it.
Speaker 2: But you actually get a first look at it in
Speaker 2: when it's me and walking dancing and we're doing, you know,
Speaker 2: our tango, but yeah, like it breaks into me teaching
Speaker 2: him some hip hop dancing. So I just I loved
Speaker 2: that I watching this movie back, it like kept going.
Speaker 2: I kept seeing like and remembering all of the talks,
Speaker 2: all of the development, all of the things that like,
Speaker 2: this was not a movie in which I feel like
Speaker 2: compared to the first movie, of course, it was more
Speaker 2: so about just kind of laying a foundation of the
Speaker 2: Cheetah the girl power essence through this girl group where
Speaker 2: the Cheetahs came from, you know, building that who are
Speaker 2: all of our different backgrounds, We all come from different
Speaker 2: places and have different storylines versus. This one was really
Speaker 2: about like the evolution of our characters, but also like
Speaker 2: really developing like and bringing in this new culture. And
Speaker 2: I just remembered like everything about this movie was picked through,
Speaker 2: thought about, over many talks, and I just I was
Speaker 2: so proud of like what it ended up being now
Speaker 2: that I've seen so many other D coms, Like for me,
Speaker 2: it was just like, Wow, all of those conversations kept
Speaker 2: coming back to me and going we didn't just like
Speaker 2: throw a movie, oh a second movie and just throw
Speaker 2: it out. It was so intricately thought of and it
Speaker 2: was really fun to see and then my last one
Speaker 2: is everyone for all of my High School Musical of
Speaker 2: fans out there who know Chucky see him in you know,
Speaker 2: he helped choreograph and do everything with High School Musical,
Speaker 2: but he was in a lot of those major dance scenes.
Speaker 2: Chucky wasn't in any anything for us. However, he does
Speaker 2: make a cameo when we first go into the Dancing
Speaker 2: cat He's like, he looked like when we get stopped
Speaker 2: kind of for us to check get checked, and there's
Speaker 2: like a vip that goes, yeah, you see Chucky with
Speaker 2: the fedora and that's him walking. Okay, little celebrity, and
Speaker 2: that's the little kind of I love that, Like Chucky
Speaker 2: did make his little cameo because he definitely deserved it.
Speaker 2: He worked his butt off on this movie, and so
Speaker 2: much of the choreography was a mix of him and Kenny,
Speaker 2: and I loved seeing all of Chucky's work again just
Speaker 2: kind of come to life.
Speaker 1: That's sweet. Well, thank you very much. Now, of course
Speaker 1: we come to the part of our program where we
Speaker 1: have to rate the film. We just saw.
Speaker 2: The options.
Speaker 1: One of the options. This week we're gonna do one
Speaker 1: out of ten Divas and Diapers again, one out of ten.
Speaker 1: I think is the best way to do it. Let's
Speaker 1: do that for this one for sure. One ten and
Speaker 1: diapers one out of ten. Barcelona's in a day, Spanish mamas,
Speaker 1: mountaintop meetings, Luke tapas one out of ten, huge beautiful buildings,
Speaker 1: one at a ten, Chanel's faults, one out of ten,
Speaker 1: secret nephews, one out of ten festive matadors, or one
Speaker 1: out of ten trumpet playing festival directors. I'd also like
Speaker 1: to add one out of ten. We never find out
Speaker 1: who actually wins the competition. I'm gonna let you pick,
Speaker 1: since this is your movie and I have to pick first.
Speaker 1: What do you want? Big?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I think I'm gonna do one out of ten?
Speaker 2: Strut like you mean it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you mean one of ten, strut like you
Speaker 1: mean it. Well, okay, it is my turn to rate. Yes, okay, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: Now you know I have to watch this as just
Speaker 1: a person watching a movie. I can't watch it as
Speaker 1: your friend or any of that kind of stuff. I
Speaker 1: have to watch it as a person watching the movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: that one, the one song with the wind in your
Speaker 1: hair much, it's too much. I would have cut that
Speaker 1: song not knowing who won. That's not good.
Speaker 2: That's not good.
Speaker 1: That being said, I loved this movie. I did. I
Speaker 1: loved this movie. Sue and I had so much fun
Speaker 1: watching this last night. The city is beautiful, the music
Speaker 1: is great, you're all engaging, Raven is hysterical, You're all.
Speaker 1: We loved it. Seriously, I loved this movie. I really did. Wow,
Speaker 1: this could have been another close to ten if not
Speaker 1: for those two things. Because its per It's Disney Channel elevated,
Speaker 1: which is what we love. It's they didn't just do
Speaker 1: a regular Disney channel. Even with its faults. I'm still
Speaker 1: gonna give Cheetah Girls two nine strut like is a
Speaker 1: strut like you mean it? Y nine strut like you
Speaker 1: mean it? And I don't think I'm being biased because
Speaker 1: you're my friend again. Sat there watched Us with my
Speaker 1: wife last night, and we both had a blast. We
Speaker 1: were like every time the guy on Hell showed up,
Speaker 1: it was funny and it was like not supposed to be,
Speaker 1: but we still we had We fully enjoyed the ninety
Speaker 1: seven minutes. It was seven minutes too long, that one song,
Speaker 1: but it was a great dcom it really was, and
Speaker 1: you're right, it was better than the first one, and
Speaker 1: I liked the first one, So this is a great movie.
Speaker 1: I'm very very confident in giving this nine strut, like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is a great one.
Speaker 2: That is unreal. I wasn't expecting that, Well, this is
Speaker 2: a great movie.
Speaker 1: Had a ton of fun watching this film.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I this again, this is my favorite movie.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't that because I of the movie comparing
Speaker 2: the actual movies. It was my experience in of course
Speaker 2: in Barcelona that was like what I think most people
Speaker 2: can like go like they're they're semester of studying abroad,
Speaker 2: or they're like awesome summer trip they took with their
Speaker 2: college girlfriends, and like this was it for me because
Speaker 2: I didn't get that because I was working. This was
Speaker 2: really it for me, and so I already knew I
Speaker 2: loved like just I was excited to like have a
Speaker 2: trip through memory lane of like all of our fun
Speaker 2: trips and stuff that we did. But now that I've
Speaker 2: watched so many dcoms and have seen you know the
Speaker 2: ones that are just kind of you know, take it
Speaker 2: or leave it, you know, the ones that are just
Speaker 2: a movie, like how we say, not bad, just a movie,
Speaker 2: And then the ones that have blown my mind, like
Speaker 2: the Descendants, the the you know, the movies, the zombies. Like,
Speaker 2: now that I've seen that, I really was imagining I
Speaker 2: was going to be picking this apart, and I just
Speaker 2: kept going, this was done so well.
Speaker 1: It is, It's good.
Speaker 2: The movie was great. The our our artistic director and
Speaker 2: like our ad was just unreal. He was so good
Speaker 2: and so mediculous. Kenny did his thing. Deborah, I swear
Speaker 2: she was just I couldn't imagine having anyone better than
Speaker 2: Deborah Martin Chase because she was such a warrior for
Speaker 2: us as as as artists for what we were wanting
Speaker 2: to do in the future with the Cheetah girls, Like
Speaker 2: she just had a big picture the whole time, and
Speaker 2: it was like finally developing. We were hitting our stride
Speaker 2: and you can see it in this movie. Everything was
Speaker 2: elevated and it was really I was really proud to
Speaker 2: watch it last night. I couldn't believe it have been
Speaker 2: were because I was thinking, now that I've seen Descendance
Speaker 2: like all these like new gen D coms, that it
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna hold up, and I feel like it did,
Speaker 2: and I'm kind of like, well, that's probably not the
Speaker 2: greatest thing to say. But because I was in it,
Speaker 2: but I felt like it really held up and I
Speaker 2: was proud of it. I'm gonna go ahead and also
Speaker 2: give it a nine. Yeahh like you mean it, because wow,
Speaker 2: it was so such a gorgeous movie and it was
Speaker 2: where we were and everything. It just it was. It
Speaker 2: was awesome. I felt like this was Cheetahs at its fineness.
Speaker 2: It was so great.
Speaker 1: Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much. We'll
Speaker 1: see about if we enjoy our next movie. Because our
Speaker 1: next movie is one I've also been waiting for. It's
